Chem 572 Assignments and Solutions, Fall 2007


Assignments

Download the Mass Spec problem set in pdf format here.

To be turned in:

  1. Thursday Sept 6:  Crews problems.  Chapter 6 1,2,4,9,10,12,15,19,28,31,34 and Chapter 7 3,8,9,11.
  2. Tuesday Sept 11:  Even numbered MS/IR problems.
  3. Tuesday Oct 2: Combined problems 25-36
  4. Dec 1: Crews problems 5.5-5.13, except 5.9
  5. Dec 4: Prepare a 1-page abstract on a 2006 paper from the literature (e.g., JACS, JOC, JPC, JBC, etc.) that uses 2D-NMR (or 3D!) as a major technique. The one-page abstract should be "typed" and include a brief discussion of both the chemistry being analyzed and the NMR technique being employed. The 2D technique should not be one of the "standard" methods we discussed in class, but rather something we did NOT cover. The abstract should explain what the cross-peaks mean. If you can get a copy of one of the spectra, that would be great (and you can extend into a 2nd page). Be sure to put your name and the full citation of the paper at the top of your page and attach a copy of the article. I'll make sets of copies of everyone's assignment and hand them out to the whole class on Thursday so everyone can learn something from the paper you abstract.

To do on your own:

  1. By ~Sept 8, work through the Mass Spec problems in the problem set.
  2. By Mid September:  The remaining MS/IR problems
  3. By ~Sept 22: Combined problems 1-12
  4. By ~Sept 29: Combined problems 13-25
  5. Keep up with those problems!!!
