Carbon chemistry involves many different families of compounds and the reactions needed to interchange them. Understanding the properties of different compounds caused by functional groups and ...

The second half of the module introduces organic and polymer chemistry. Functional group chemistry and molecular shape are discussed using simple models of bonding. We emphasise the importance of ...

The functional group (-COO) is known as the ester link. The main use of esters is for flavourings and perfumes, however they can also be used in the chemicals industry as solvents.

Stephanie received her PhD in chemistry from Imperial College London, where she researched new synthetic methods to access underexplored S(VI) functional groups with Dr James Bull. Previously ...
