Concerned with neo-coordination chemistry, students study theoretical approaches, spectroscopic techniques, physiochemical methods, and sophisticated coordination complexes, such as ligands and coordination compounds, stability, MO theory, crystal field theory, electronic spectra and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes, beyond ligand field theory, f-electron systems and other methods of studying coordination compounds, thermodynamic and related aspects of ligand fields, including reaction kinetics bonding in cluster compounds and some aspects of bio-inorganic chemistry.

SCH308 Polymer Chemistry I
Mr. Sean Vichet
Year III, Semester II
Students learn to identify polymers with respect to their molecular weight averages and distributions, and study techniques used in identification and analysis. They learn about the stereochemistry of polymers, thermal transition, polymer properties and structure, relationship properties, and polymer degradation and stabilization.

SCH309 Structure and Energetics
Mr. Kin Sovann
Year III, Semester II
Students are introduced to quantum mechanics, atomic structure and spectroscopy, electronic structures of diatomic molecules and polyatomic molecules, spectroscopy of diatomic molecules and polyatomic molecules, symmetry and group theory.

SCH310 Research Methods in Chemistry
Dr. Neth Barom
Year III, Semester II
Students learn about the roles, objectives, nature and characteristics of research in chemistry. They learn to use indexes, abstract journals, journals and other resources in the library and e-library, and learn about forms and methods of scientific report writing, such as analyzing statistics in observation data collection and interpretation of facts obtained from experiments.

SCH401 Natural Compounds
Ms. Ke Kantha Mealea

SCH407 Environmental Chemistry
Ms. Sreng Soknet
Year IV, Semester I
Examines the man-made environment, and considers the problems of environmental pollution on dynamic ecosystems. Students learn about the role of chemists in dealing with environmental problems such as water, air and soil pollution and how to treat and control chemical hazards themselves.

SCH408 Polymer Chemistry II
Mr. Sean Vichet
Year IV, Semester I
Students learn about basic mechanisms and kinetic features of various types of polymer-forming reactions, step-wise and chain addition polymerisation, co-polymerisation and structural conversions, and practical methods of polymer synthesis.

SCH409 Food Chemistry
