Full description: |
This course consists of selected experimental and theoretical exercises connected with the scientific program developed in the research laboratories inside the Teaching Division of Physical Chemistry. It includes four main subjects: electrochemistry, molecular spectroscopy, thermodynamic and chemistry of plasma. It is possible to perform 10 selected exercises from the following set of proposed investigations: 1. Theoretical modeling of fluorescent properties of organic molecules. 2. Electrochromism of conducting polymers. 3. Application of process simulation for determination of phase equilibria (and related properties in chemistry, technology and ecology). 4. Electrochemical adsorption of hydrogen in palladium electrode. 5. NMR measurements of diffusion coefficients. 6. Basic NMR spectroscopy of proteins. 7. Modelling of the dependance of vicinal coupling constant on molecular conformation. 8. Electrochemical properties of selected materials for litium ion betteries. 9. High temperature synthesis of selected carbon materials. 10. Obsevation of enzymatic proteolysis of proteins with application of fluorescence spectroscopy, IR and circular dichroism. 11. Spectroscopic investigations of denaturation, misfolding and aggregation of insulin. 12. Advanced modes of the Atomic Force Microscopy. 13. Study of ultrafast dynamics stimulated by femtosecond laser pulse in metallic nanoparticles, gas or molecular liquids 14. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experiments in the Earth's Field 15. Simulations of protein macrocomplexes using molecular dynamics methods. 16. Machine learning in predicting the properties and biological activity of chemical compounds. |
Bibliography: |
Students choose literature according to the topics of their exercises. |
Learning outcomes: |
After completing the course, a student should be able: a) to select the appropriate technique of measurements to solve a research problem, b) to master the rules of measurement performance and result discussion, c) to understand and critically assess the limitation of his/her own experimental work. A student knows and understands the theoretical basis of different molecular spectroscopies. A student knows the applications of various molecular spectroscopies. |
Assessment methods and assessment criteria: |
Oral test checking student’s theoretical preparation before the lab, evaluation of student’s activity during the work, evaluation of the written report from the laboratory work. The student's presence in the 10 classes selected by him is obligatory. In the event of an excused student's absence, additional classes are organized. |
