For undergraduate students:
“Organometallic Chemistry and Polymer Chemistry”
In most universities, “organometallic chemistry” classes are set
for graduate students only. Herein, we picked basic concepts, important theories
and reactions in organometallic chemistry and introduced them to undergraduate
students. After this course, students are expected to gain more knowledge on
synthetic chemistry as well as polymer synthesis, to kick off their work on
polymer science at a better starting line.
PPT slides for this course are mainly written in English, with
minor explanation in Chinese.
