化学和化学生物学理学硕士-有机

有机化学是许多子学科的基石，包括生物有机，聚合物，有机材料，有机金属和物理有机化学。康奈尔大学提供有机化学所有主要子学科的专业知识。随便看看康奈尔大学有机化学家的研究计划，就会发现在理解反应机理方面有一个特别强烈的主题。此外，有机化学家与化学生物学家以及校园内其他学科的成员也有很强的联系，包括材料科学，化学工程，催化以及分子和细胞生物学。
Organometallic chemistry melds the disciplines of inorganic and organic in examining the structure – both conformational and electronic -- and reactivity of compounds containing metal-carbon bonds. Main group and transition metal reagents are investigated in the context of stoichiometric and catalytic transformations critical to the synthesis of fine and commodity chemicals. Laboratory training emphasizes a hands-on approach, including: 1) the synthesis and manipulation of air-sensitive compounds, 2) spectroscopic characterizations (multinuclear, 2D, and VT NMR, IR, UV-vis, epr), 3) X-ray structure determination, 4) kinetics and related mechanistic investigations, including simulations, and 5) conducting/interpreting ab initio and/or semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations.
