Course description
Organic materials comprise organic molecules and the characteristics mostly depend on those of the constituents. Since the structure, reactions, and functionalities of the molecules are governed by the behaviors of the electrons, it is of fundamental importance to design organic materials with your eyes set on the electronic structures. Following the relevant undergraduate courses, this course discusses methodologies for examining the electronic structures and properties of organic molecules.
Expected Learning
To understand the concept of organic chemistry, such as steric hindrance and steric repulsion, from the theory of molecules, so that you can organize your own.
Course schedule
This lecture has three parts.
The first part (2nd to 5th): Reading the book “Molecular Crystals / John, written by D. Wright” and follows the presentation material.
Part 2 (6th to 9th): Lectures on molecular theory
Part 3 (10th to 15th: Presentation of learning
Specifically, it proceeds according to the following schedule, but depending on the situation, there may be replacement of each part.
1st: Guidance
2nd: Learning about molecular crystals 1
3rd: Learning about molecular crystals 2
4th: Learning about molecular crystals 3
5th: Learning about molecular crystals 4

Prerequisites
Ability to earn the credits of quantum chemistry I・II and structural chemistry offered for the undergraduate students of organic and polymer materials chemistry (or similar courses) is necessary.
Required Text(s) and Materials
J. D. Wright, "Molecular Crystal"(Cambridge University Press)
Handouts will be distributed.

Assessment/Grading
Comprehensive evaluation based on submitted presentation materials, presentations, and oral examinations during lectures (sometimes assignments and exercises)
Message from instructor(s)
It is desirable that you understand the significance and limitation of chemical models simplifying the real systems as well as intend to avoid creating black boxes as much as possible. Every student who takes this course will be often asked for an opinion in class and is expected to cultivate the ability of scientific explanation and discussion.
