photosynthesis (biology), organic synthesis (organic chemistry) or charge-transfer complexes (inorganic chemistry). It is important to know that most of the electron transfer occurs due to the metals, metals complexes and organometallic compounds. In this chapter a review of earlier electron donors and the different electron transfer will be developed. 1.1 Organic electron donors Since the earlier 1970s tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) organic compound has aroused great interest. TTF is an organic…

Types of Spectroscopy used in Organic Chemistry 1.1 Introduction Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and light (electromagnetic radiation) (Crouch & Skoog, 2007). It is often phrased as the light of knowledge (Reusch, 2013). In the past, spectroscopy started by the study of visible light dispersed according to its wavelength by a prism (Anon., n.d.). Now, with the knowledge of light having both wave-like and particle-like characteristics, with given frequency or…

program at the UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical is four years in time. The first of the program is mostly focused on teaching the student pharmacists the basic of biology and chemistry. The courses include Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Histology, and Human Anatomy. The student will also take a yearlong courses of Pharmaceutics where they learn about the basics of Pharmackinetics and Dosage forms. Also students will learn the basics of Biostatics, Study design…

protect and benefit the economy, people and the planet through implementation of Green Chemistry. The American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute describes green chemistry as a different perspective on how chemistry and chemical engineering should be done to reduce waste, conserve energy, and utilize replacements for hazardous substances. Through a series of twelve principles, the ideals of Green Chemistry attempt to lessen the negative effects scientific innovation and utilization tend…

molecules.1 One example of the utility of photoredox catalysis is the “production of lignan cyclobutanes,” which have many important pharmaceutical uses.2 Photoredox catalysis yields an efficient bond formation reaction.2 Compared to other catalysts, organic photoredox catalysts are a cheap and sustainable alternative.3 Molecules with “long excited state lifetimes and large redox windows” make…

The results obtained for this lab were very unsatisfactory, even though the results sustain a general trend throughout the course of the experiment, the results were not expected. At the beginning of the experiment all reagents produced satisfactory results, the reactant 2-bromopropane was determined to be the limiting reagent for the Grignard formation and the Isopropyl Magnesium Bromide was correctly formed. However, random errors occurred at the nucleophilic addition step. At this period, it…

interest in physical chemistry, and the knowledge I have gained working in a chemical biology research laboratory, to understand biological macromolecules at a fundamental level. When I first attended organic chemistry seminars as a sophomore, I was impressed at the eloquence and the enthusiasm of the speakers. Endeavoring to have insights like those of experienced scientists, I took advantage of the college honors program to initiate a challenging honors paper for my organic chemistry class.…

In Chemistry 2017-2018 I learned many things that can help out in daily life to keep others safe and to improve things. One thing that can be useful is knowing basic chemicals and elements to be safe and know what is inside things you have in everyday life. Knowing chemicals is good to know not to mix certain things that can possibly be dangerous or hazardous to your-self or others. Knowing not to mix ammonia and bleach is good because when mixed causes an toxic gas that can harm you, others,…

passion for Chemistry started in year 7, the teacher I had for science made the subject interesting and fun, so I looked forward to every science lesson I had. The areas of chemistry that interest me are inorganic and organic chemistry as you can learn a lot about how and why different substances react in different situations. I also enjoy physical chemistry, because it allows you to apply chemistry to life situations. In addition, the skills I have learnt from chemistry are varied. Chemistry…
