List of Chemistry Notes

Filter By:   All | Inorganic | Organic | Physical | 1st Year | 2nd Year | 3rd Year
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Basic notes on conformation and reactivity.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers aromatic reaction types, then moves onto the Synthesis and Reaction Types of each class of Heterocyclic Compound. Mostly from the two primers on these topics.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Notes mostly from the Primer, starting with Hydrogen then moving to Alkali Metals and Helium.
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Info about HSAB Principle, Coordination Geometries, Isomerism and Complex Stability
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers some of the descriptive chemistry of the p-Block, done by Group (12 to 18)
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers some of the descriptive chemistry of each element in the Transition Metals section of the Periodic Table.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers generation through reaction types and mechanism onto synthetic uses. I did this topic at Advanced level so should be fairly comprehensive. Mixture of Primer and Lecture Notes.
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Details on the basic types of mechanism and redox pathways, with information on how this can be detected using kinetic studies. Mostly taken from a variety of lecture notes.
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Mostly Descriptive Chemistry, but discusses why the chemistry occurs as well. There is some more detail on Uranium at the end. Adapted from Dr Heyes' Lecture Notes
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Brief Notes on Magnetism, I think from Dr Cox's lectures.
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Notes on MO Diagrams and LCAO for simple molecular compounds and complexes. This is pretty much entirely a cut-down version of Dr Mountford's lecture handouts.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers microscopic and macroscopic interactions. Moves on to Mixtures and De-Bye Huckel Theory and so on. There are some gaps in this early on.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Contains basic facts to know, and an introduction to approximations and selection rules for molecular energy levels.
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
General discussion of the trends amongst the Non-Metals and reasons behind them, plus some comparisons between elements towards the end. Adapted from a variety of sources.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Basics of interpreting UV, IR, Mass Spec and NMR for Organic compounds. Also has a useful shapes and shifts diagram at the end.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers Organonitrogen, Organoboron, organosilicon, organophosphorus and organosulphur reactions and reagents. Mostly from the primers (where appropriate) but added to from core texts too.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Divided into Oxidation then Reduction. Covers the lecture notes, with more basic useful conversions thrown in (which are actually more helpful!)
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Very thorough notes on the different types of Pericyclic Reactions. Probably covers advanced as a large part of them is made up of lecture notes. I didn't use them much though - too complicated!
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
A series of mini-essays on the concepts behind Physical Organic Chemistry. Rarely comes up, except of course the year I sat Finals ...
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers basics and postulates, before moving onto applications, e.g. particle in a box, on a ring, etc etc.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Carbenes, Nitrenes and Arynes covered, particularly generation and reactions. Fairly basic level though.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Some basic notes at the start, then covers examples and mechanisms later on.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Discussion of basic formulae, selection rules and so on relevant to rotational spectroscopy.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Incorporates Vibrational Energy Levels into molecular spectroscopy, so covering IR and Raman.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers origins of molecular partition function, then addresses translational, rotational, vibrational and electronic components.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Some very basic conventions and symmetry rules, before moving onto Stereoelectronics Notes (most of which come from the Primer)
Inorganic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Thorough notes on most aspects of Transition Metal Chemistry. Largely adapted from Prof Denning's lecture notes, with some extra bits thrown in.
