Why did you choose OC or AC?

What was the most important factor that motivated you to specialize in one of the two areas of chemistry?

So what do you think is better about AC and worse about OC (or the other way around)?

Probably organic ‘coke’ came closest to my idea of ‘real’ chemistry. Testing reactions and reagents, quick feedback, analyses, synthesis planning, target structure, variants for pharmaceutical research…

polishing some crystal for 6 months to investigate catalysis, heating a solid in a vacuum for 6 weeks, or taking care of stuffed hoses was not my case.

You can’t say that. Both are wide fields.

Complex chemistry is a module with us. It’s a bad thing. Ligands are produced and combined with the metals or even makes a kind of multistage reaction. Almost every metal can form (organic) complexes. It is often much more colorful and productive than the normal OC. Metallocene, BuLi, Carbonyle, we cooked something like this in the internship.

Many metals of the d-block are important in catalysts for organic synthesis. Especially palladium.

There’s an analysis, Techn. Chemistry, PC, Biochemistry, pharm, Chemistry, Toxicology and Forensics, Food Chemistry…

What I want to say: organic synthesis is better for me, but you also need AC. A new trend is again metal conplexes in drugs, such as the Ferroquin.

Since we already have OC and PC, I now complete the triple: I specialize in AC (plus PC and functional materials).

The OC lectures have never told me since there were always only any name actions up and down. And the OC internships were deliberately trimmed to put the students under pressure as far as possible. Lag for me to choose this on my hand.

But the three focal points I’ve loved right now, I’ve really enjoyed it. The AC is full of connection classes that have unexpected and at first glance really strange properties, but that’s exactly what makes the appeal for me. With the PC I have little contact with the university unfortunately, making the super interesting things. And one must have seen such a laser table:D the functional materials are cool to see how processes come from the laboratory into the “real world” and see what is possible and will come.

So you see, this is a broad spectrum that goes farther than just organics and inorganics.

You forgot the important physics chemistry. That’s what I’ve been specializing in during the main study of chemistry. “Kochen” in the OC I found quite interesting, but physically and psychologically challenging. And I found AC pretty bad with the analyst stuff.
