Content
The course is comprised of two sections, in which the first part is performed on reserved group times (2×4 hours per week for 7 weeks) and the second stage involves a research project conducted in pairs. The first part (“group stage”) consists of qualitative analysis as well as simple inorganic synthesis to introduce a number of fundamental analytical and characterization methods. Aim of the research projects is to demonstrate the process involved with modern synthetic research including: (1) literature survey and writing a research plan, (2) conducting the research in the lab and (3) reporting the results (written report and group seminar presentation).
