On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1	describe and explain the properties, applications, and synthetic mechanisms of important classes of materials, including metallo-supramolecular assemblies, porous extented materials, and polymers.
2	explain the physical principles of key techniques for characterising materials, including X-ray crystallography, advanced NMR spectroscopy, and gas adsorption, and apply these techniques.
3	propose general syntheses for important classes of materials and provide mechanisms to explain their formation.
4	demonstrate proficiency in undertaking individual and/or team-based laboratory investigations using appropriate apparatus and safe laboratory practices, including the collection, analysis, interpretation and communication of results of an experiment.
5	design and plan an investigation by selecting and applying appropriate practical and/or theoretical techniques or tools.

There is no prescribed text for this course. All required course material will be provided by the course instructor(s).

Textbooks

• Steed and Atwood, Supramolecular Chemistry (Wiley)

All of these texts are available for loan from the Barr Smith library. References to other material and recent literature will be given in lectures.

Teaching materials and course documentation will be posted on the MyUni website ().

This course consists of the following components:

• Lectures/Tutorials: 12 x 3 hours per week (timetabled as "Workshops")
• Practicals: 10 x 5.5-hour sessions with one session per week

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

Coursework
Course material will cover the following topics:

• Supramolecular Chemistry
• Porous Extended Materials
• Polymer Chemistry

Practicals
Practical exercises will provide students with "hands on" experience in the quantitative use of various analytical methods. In addition, students will be involved in the synthesis and analysis of "real world" chemical samples. Training and direction on communicating the results of these investigations in various formats will be provided.

Tutorials
Tutorial sessions will be held weekly and will provide the student with the opportunity to discuss material from the lecture course. Formative tutorial questions will be used to reinforce the concepts introduced in lectures through a combination of qualitative and quantitative problem solving.

Attendance is compulsory at all scheduled chemistry practical sessions. The learning outcomes for this course are substantially dependent on laboratory experience and practice. Therefore, missing any practical class in a semester will result in a grade of FAIL being recorded for the course. Students with medical or compassionate reasons for non-attendance will be given an opportunity to make up missed practical sessions.

Assessment task	Type of assessment	Percentage of total assessment for grading purposes	Hurdle (Yes/No)	Outcomes being assessed	Timing of assessment approx
Summative Assignments	Formative & Summative	10%	No	1-3	Weeks 5,9,13
Practical reports	Formative & Summative	30%	No	1-5	Bi-weekly: major reports due every 3 weeks

Assessment Item	% needed to meet course requirement	Additional Assessment
Examination	45%	Yes - RAA Exam; a grade of at least 45% must obtained
Practical work is compulsory	Satisfactory completion of all practicals, including attendance of ALL practical sessions and reasonable attempt at ALL practical reports	Missed practicals can be made up

Summative Assignments (10% of final course grade)
Students will complete assignments on the course material. There will be 3 assignments, each worth 3.33%. The topics are Supramolecular Chemistry, Porous Extended Materials, and Polymer Chemistry. Each assignment will consist of a series of
short-answer and/or multiple-choice questions.

Practicals (30% of final course grade)
This will come from assessment of experiment reports (3 major reports and 2 minor reports) and in-lab assessments. Each major report is worth 6% of the assessment, each minor report is worth 3% of the assessment, and each in-lab assessment is worth 2% of the assessment. Students will be provided with sample reports, rubrics with assessment criteria, and guidelines on report structure and approximate length. Students will complete 5 experiments, with each experiment taking approximately 2 lab sessions (1 experiment approximately every 2 weeks). They will submit a minor report on the day of completion of an experiment for 2 of the 5 experiments and they will complete an in-lab assessment and submit a major report approximately one week after the completion of an experiment for the other 3 experiments. The in-lab assessment will assess risk assessment, experimental write-up, successful synthesis, and laboratory skills.

Examination (60% of final course grade)
The end-of-semester examination will be based primarily on lecture/tutorial material and will consist of a series of short-answer and/or multiple-choice questions.

Submission of Assigned Work
Coversheets must be completed and attached to all submitted work. Coversheets can be obtained from the School Office (room G33 Physics) or from MyUNI. Work should be submitted via the assignment drop box at the School Office or via MyUni as instructed.

Extensions for Assessment Tasks
Extensions of deadlines for assessment tasks may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Students are required to apply for an extension to the Course Coordinator before the assessment task is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time. The assessment extension application form can be obtained from: 

Late Submission of Assessments
If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days or more late without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the mark.
