Teaching of practical synthetic chemistry. Our synthetic targets include not only organic compounds and inorganic coordination complexes, but also organometallic compounds (e.g. ferrocene derivatives) and other interesting compounds! Sometimes metal-organic complexes are good catalyst for promoting organic transformations. At other times, the structure of specially designed organic ligands can confer amazing catalytic selectivity in the metal catalysed synthese!

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is now a powerful and mature analytical tool nowadays. Its applications in chemistry rang from small synthetic chemicals, catalysts, polymers to large bio-macromolecules. High Field NMR spectroscopy is a versatile technique because it is noninvasive. While the principal use of NMR spectroscopy is to obtain qualitative and quantitative information about chemical structures of the materials being studied, the technique can also be applied in the characterization of molecular motions to provide dynamical information.
- Go there for Online Intro for NMR Spectroscopy
.
- There is an online textbook on Basics of NMR Spectroscopy AVAILABLE FREE-OF-CHARGE! Undergraduates should have found it to be very useful for further study.
Gas Chromatography
- There is also some information which is very useful. Online Intro for Gas chromatography

Nowadays, we'll also use modeling software to explain the chemical reactivity pattern ...
In synthetic chemistry lab, it's always full of fun!
In chemistry lab, we can meet students from various professions, e.g. biochemistry, chemistry ...
Moreover, we can meet some foreign friends (not aliens) here! Moechte Sie ein Schweinshaxe? Eistee? Oder Oolong-tee?
Sometimes, we can learn foreign culture and new language in a chemistry lab!
