Mission statement

To teach principles of reaction kinetics and catalysis. Topics covered include the laws and theories governing rates of chemical reactions and reaction mechanisms in the gas phase, in solution, and at the solid-liquid interface. Emphasis is placed on modern experimental approaches to study kinetics in complex chemical and biochemical systems. Analysis of experimental data, with focus of determining rate coefficients and identifying kinetically plausible reaction mechanisms, is emphasized. Computational approaches to estimate rates of chemical reactions and study the mechanism of catalysis are discussed.
