Intermediate Physical Organic (Morsch)
Layne Morsch · University of Illinois Springfield
Physical organic chemistry refers to a discipline of organic chemistry that focuses on the relationship between chemical structures and reactivity, in particular, applying experimental tools of physical chemistry to the study of organic molecules. Specific focal points of study include the rates of organic reactions, the relative chemical stabilities of the starting materials, reactive intermediates, transition states, and products of chemical reactions, and non-covalent aspects of solvation.

Qualitative Analysis of Common Cations in Water
Muhammad Arif Malik · Hampton University
The qualitative analysis of cations in a mixture is used as a model to teach chemistry experimental skills. This model provides hands-on practice of separating a mixture of substances that are often encountered in chemical synthesis and chemical extraction processes. The ions in the mixture are separated by selective precipitation, selective dissolution, and characteristic reactions enforced based on common ion effects, pH effect, coordination complex formation, and redox reactions.

Quantum States of Atoms and Molecules
Zielinksi et al. · Chemical Education Digital Library
This is an introduction to quantum mechanics as it relates to spectroscopy, the electronic structure of atoms and molecules, and molecular properties. A digital, living textbook, it provides opportunities not found in conventional textbooks—opportunities that allow students to develop skills in information processing, critical thinking or analytical reasoning, and problem solving that are so important for success.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (Jenschke)
Gunnar Jeschke · ETH Zürich
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a very important technique for understanding radical reactions, electron transfer processes, and transition metal catalysis, which are all related to the ’reactivity of the unpaired electron’. These notes introduce the basics for applying EPR spectroscopy on reactive or catalytically active species as well as on spin probes.

The Schlenk Line Survival Guide
Andryj Borys · Universität Bern
The text is a practical resource designed to help chemists working with air-sensitive compounds. It provides step-by-step guides on using a Schlenk line, a common lab apparatus for handling compounds under an inert atmosphere like nitrogen or argon. The guide covers essential techniques, including how to properly set up and operate the Schlenk line, perform Schlenk transfers, and filter solutions under an inert atmosphere. It also emphasizes safety procedures and troubleshooting common issues.

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.
