Audio and video podcasts from undergraduate lecture courses given in the Chemistry Department. The audio materials are annotated as"enhanced" Podcasts with full lecture notes, handouts, and linked to rotatable/and or animated 3D models (of molecules, their vibrations, and their molecular orbitals. Requires Java) and to much original literature.
