Direct Undergraduate Research
Fall 2018 - UNCC
CHEM 4900
"Independent study and research in any of these fields of chemistry: organic, physical, analytical, inorganic chemistry or biochemistry. Hours for laboratory and library work to be determined.
Credit Hours: (1 to 4)
Restriction(s): Permission of instructor overseeing the research; and, when taken for honors credit, approval of a proposal through the Honors College Application to Candidacy process the semester prior to taking the course.
Repeatability: May be repeated for credit."
This is the report of my first semester (Fall 2018) taking CHEM 4900 - Chemistry Research.
I continued taking CHEM 4900 until my last semester which was Fall 2019.
"Synthesis of novel silicon-containing compounds and materials, especially compounds or complexes in which silicon is used as a substitute for a carbon atom or a transition metal. Specific focus areas include redox-active hexacoordinate silicon complexes, silicon heterocycles, and silicon-based conducting polymers.
Our research group is interested in the development of silicon-containing compounds and materials, especially compounds or complexes in which silicon is used as a substitute for a carbon atom or a transition metal."
