Molecular and Atomic Spectroscopy
Thomas Wenzel · Bates College
A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop the areas of molecular and atomic spectroscopy is provided. Chapters on basics of spectrophotometry, ultraviolet/visible absorption, molecular fluorescence, infrared, Raman and atomic spectroscopy are included. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in groups, but can be modified for use as out-of-class exercises.

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis
Tharmalingam Punniyamurthy · Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis the synthesis of compound that favors the formation of a specific enantiomer or diastereomer via catalysis synthetic methods. Enantioselective synthesis is a key process in modern chemistry and is particularly important in the field of pharmaceuticals, as the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity.

Principles of Pharmacology
Carl Rosow, David Standaert, & Gary Strichartz · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The object of this text is to teach students an approach to the study of pharmacologic agents. The focus is on the basic principles of biophysics, biochemistry and physiology, as related to the mechanisms of drug action, biodistribution and metabolism. The course consists of lectures and student-led case discussions.

Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Jianshu Cao · Massechusetts Institute of Technology
This course discusses the principles and methods of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Basic topics covered are stochastic processes, regression and response theory, molecular hydrodynamics, and complex liquids. Selected applications, including fluctuation theorems, condensed phase reaction rate theory, electron transfer dynamics, enzymatic networks, photon counting statistics, single molecule kinetics, reaction-controlled diffusion, may also be discussed.

The Necessity of Entropy: The Macroscopic Argument, The Microscopic Response, and Some Practical Consequences
Judith Herzfeld · Brandeis University
Students often find thermodynamics baffling. This should not be surprising because it took many years for some of the best scientific minds to work it out. Nor should that arduous history be surprising because thermodynamics links visible phenomena with molecular phenomena, two realms that are more often considered separately. However, the grand ambition of this linkage has been elegantly established and there is nothing convoluted about it.

Chem 4399/5399: ChemInformatics
Robert Belford · University of Arkansas at Little Rock
This is an intercollegiate course where students, faculty and non-academic professionals have an chance to interact through the course website, and we thought a good way to learn how to use the course website would be for everyone to introduce themselves in a short comment.
