Teaching Division:

Theoretical Chemistry and Crystallography

Educational and
professional goals:

The classes are devoted to practical applications of the material presented in the lectures.

Course description:

The classes deal with symmetry analyses of the crystal models, analyses of point groups and selected space groups. Students get practical skills how to make an X-ray diffraction measurement on a monocrystal, and also how to solve and refine a crystal and molecular structure. They are taught how to interpret the final measurement results. Furthermore, they use crystallographic databases to solve various chemical problems like conformational or tautomer preference of a given molecular fragment and its susceptibility to form non bonding interactions, and they apply structure correlation analysis to some chemical problems.
