| Aim: The aim of the course is to introduce, by theory and experiment, the science of nanochemistry, a topical field with a pronounced interdisciplinary character. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Inorganic Chemistry (NKEB23), Physical Chemistry - Spectroscopy (NKEB41), Preparative Organic Chemistry (NKEC44), or equivalent. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course contains lectures and laboratory work. |
|||
| Course contents: Nanochemistry is a strongly interdisciplinary field of science located at the crossroads of the organic, inorganic and physical chemistries. In this course you will encounter all these fields in theoretical lectures and experimental laboratory work. The course will discuss the synthesis and characterisation of nanocrystals as well as their properties and technical use, for example magnetic nanoparticles in bio-medicine. Functionalisation of nanoparticles by (bio)organic molecules. Theoretical modelling of nanosized systems. The laboratory course, which will be carried out in the form of a project work, includes the synthesis of nanocrystals and/or some organic molecules and the subsequent �?ocapping�?� of the particles by the molecules. You will investigate your synthesis products by various spectroscopic methods, such as NMR and IR. Finally, you will present your project work orally on a seminar in the end of the course. |
