2nd year | Semester 4
Option: molecular chemistry 6 ECTS

Experimental training in molecular chemistry

Evaluation method:
Laboratory work: theoretical and practical understanding, techniques, productivity, behavioral, written report.
Course outline:

Preparation of experimental design: bibliographic research, choice of method, reaction mechanism, assessment, security elements related to manipulation. Preparation and maintenance of a laboratory notebook. Good laboratory practices and health and safety rules. Starating and performing the synthesis steps. Isolation and purifications. Chemical, physicochemical and structural characterizations. Writing a report.

Learning objectives:

The aim of the experimental training in molecular chemistry is to bring the student, through an individual work or in pairs, to an improvement of his theoretical and practical knowledge in molecular chemistry. The module will consist of a short-project (a few reaction steps), related to the teaching module for which the student is responsible in interaction with a supervising teacher. The student will have to provide a report on the work done. This form of education aims to give the student a certain form of autonomy and responsibility in his work in the laboratory, a work closely related to that of the industry.

Prerequisites: Molecular chemistry courses, prior experience in molecular chemistry laboratory.

Teaching language: FR
