This is a compulsory 24 lecture unit for the DTC students to undertake as part of the 6-month PACT course. It aims to give the cohort detailed introduction to areas such as synthetic strategy, techniques for kinetics and mechanistic determinations and use of DFT and other computational techniques that they will have had limited experience of as undergraduates.
It is expected that the students will use the theory of this unit to aid their PhD research eg enable postgraduates to use DFT to model transition states and calculate energy minima themselves rather than rely on others
24 x 1h lectures + 8 x 1h Workshops
Will be assessed by a 3h (100%) course test in month 6/7.
Detailed references and reading will be provided by the academic member responsible for each set of lectures.
