Introductory Chemistry (Petersen)
Anne Petersen · Introductory Chemistry (Petersen)
This text is designed as an introduction to the experimental science of chemistry. Using mathematical word problems and chemical terms, students will have an overview of inorganic chemistry. This course is suited for those who have no high school chemistry experience. This course serves as preparation for General Chemistry or the first course of a two-semester sequence that satisfies the requirements of allied health programs (e.g. nursing or dental hygiene) that require one year of chemistry.

Organic Synthesis
Kevin Shea · Smith College
My goal in writing this text is to help advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students learn key topics in organic chemistry that often don't come up in your Organic I and II classes. So, you can think about this as an Organic III text. My focus is on key reaction types that enable the construction of complex organic molecules: pericyclic reactions, transition metal catalyzed reactions, rearrangements, fragmentations, radical reactions, and carbene reactions.

Organic Synthesis
Kevin Shea · Smith College
This text is designed to build on traditional Organic Chemistry I and II courses for an Advanced Organic Chemistry class. The focus is on key reaction types that enable the construction of complex organic molecules: pericyclic reactions, transition metal catalyzed reactions, rearrangements, fragmentations, radical reactions, and carbene reactions. It explores these reactions through both mechanism and synthesis problems with many examples from the current literature.

Introduction to Solid State Chemistry
Donald Sadoway · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Introduction to Solid State Chemistry is a one-semester college course on the principles of chemistry. You’ll begin with an exploration of the fundamental relationship between electronic structure, chemical bonding, and atomic order, then proceed to the chemical properties of “aggregates of molecules,” including crystals, metals, glasses, semiconductors, solutions and acid-base equilibria, polymers, and biomaterials.
