MSc Chemie

Vor Beginn des 3. Fachsemesters suchen sich die Studierenden zunächst eine Arbeitsgruppe, in der sie ihr "Projektmodul" absolvieren möchten. Dabei handelt es sich um ein kleineres Forschungsprojekt (9W-Block). In Abstimmung mit dem betreuenden Hochschullehrer des Projektmoduls erfolgt dann die Auswahl der Wahlpflichtveranstaltungen des Moduls "Aktuelle Aspekte der Chemie" mit einem Gesamtumfang von 10 LP, wobei das Arbeitsgruppenseminar, welches über ein ganzes Semester besucht werden soll, 5 LP entspricht. Hier soll auch der Vortrag über die Ergebnisse des Projektmoduls gehalten werden (Studienleistung). Das verbleibende Wahlpflichtprogramm (5 LP) muss nicht zwangsläufig nur aus dem Angebot eines Instituts oder einer Arbeitsgruppe zusammengestellt werden.
Beispielhaft ist hier ein Angebot mit Wahlpflichtveranstaltungen des Organisch-Chemischen Instituts aufgeführt.

The course “Organic Luminescent Materials” aims to discuss different applications of organic emitting dyes, such as bioimaging, luminescent devices and biosensors, in relationship with their molecular structure. Basic concepts of photophysics (absorption, emission and lifetime) will be described. In order to define rules to design organic dyes suitable for specific applications, several phenomena involving organic emitting dyes (such as aggregation-induced emission, room temperature phosphorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence) will be also discussed.

In the lecture "Sustainable Chemistry" we will discuss different concepts in sustainable chemistry, especially those applied to organic synthesis. First, we will focus on the solvents, raw materials and the parameters for efficient transformations, as well as evaluate few study-cases in small groups. Next, we will learn how to activate and use abundant molecules such as CO2 and carbohydrates for fixation and revalorization processes. Finally, taking all into account, we will make some literature analysis, which will be lastly presented by the students (in groups or individually depending on the number of course-attendees).

The course "Photochemistry" is meant to initially provide an introduction to key processes associated with the excitation of a molecule. The information will then be related to practical aspects and contribute to necessary knowledge for students to enter the field of photochemistry. Additionally, the basic concepts will provide a fundament to discuss recent advances in photochemistry focusing on enantioselective strategies. The course will be restricted to direct irradiation and energy transfer promoted reactions in the interest of time (photo-redox-chemistry will be excluded).
