This course is directed towards students aiming at an industrial or scientific career where they will have to solve problems appealing to chemistry: health, heavy industry, petroleum, energy, environment, etc. The philosophy will be quite the same as the previous course, but the concepts and applications will be further investigated.

The course will draw a close link between organic chemistry and quantum chemistry. Its target is to give the students the theoretical background necessary for rationalizing the main classes of chemical reactions, and to teach them some applications of the theoretical principles in organic synthesis.

In view of the growing importance of transition metals and heavy elements in industrial chemistry, the basic chemistry of these elements will also be taught.
