CODE 68214 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 7 cfu anno 1 METODOLOGIE PER LA CONSERV. RESTAURO BENI CULTURALI 9009 (LM-11) - GENOVA 3 cfu anno 1 TECNICHE DELLA PREVENZIONE NELL'AMBIENTE E NEI LUOGH 9298 (L/SNT4) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR CHIM/06 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: CHEMISTRY TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES For TECPALL (3 CFU) Learn the basic fundamentals of organic chemistry, with particular regard to the structure, nomenclature, synthesis, and reactivity of some of the main classes of organic compounds (alkanes and cycloalkanes, alkenes and alkynes, aromatic compounds, halides, alcohols and phenols, ethers, carbonyl derivatives, amines, and amino acids). Learning outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to recognize the main functional groups in organic chemistry and understand the main reactions, being able to describe them graphically. For MCRBC (7 CFU) The aim of the course is first to provide the student with a general overview of the chemical and physicochemical behavior of the main functional groups in organic chemistry and the characteristics of the main natural substances. Based on the knowledge thus acquired, the essential characteristics (composition, preparation, reactivity) of the main types of organic or polymeric materials of more specific interest in the field of Cultural Heritage (solvents, resins, dyes, binders - drying oils and temperas -, protective agents, varnishes) are then examined. Understanding the factors that regulate the behavior of these materials is fundamental for the correct planning and interpretation of diagnostics, aimed at using modern conservation, consolidation, and restoration techniques. Learning outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to recognize the main functional groups in organic chemistry and understand the main reactions, being able to describe them graphically. Additionally, the student will be able to describe the substances used in cultural heritage conservation; discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques and materials; identify deterioration processes; think critically to apply the studied reactions to processes related to cultural heritage deterioration; and will have developed knowledge about art materials. TEACHING METHODS Traditional lessons in the classroom. For TECPALL, the attendance is compulsory. Only students who have attended at least 60% of the lessons will be admitted to the exam SYLLABUS/CONTENT First part - common part for TECPALL and MCRBC (Note: the hours dedicated to each part of the program are only indicative) Introductory notions, atoms and molecules, hybrid orbitals of carbon (5 hours) Alkanes and cycloalkanes. Nomenclature and properties. Conformations. Alkenes, alkynes, and arenes: concept of aromaticity, nomenclature and properties. Stereoisomerism and enantiomerism. R/S configurations. E/Z isomerism. Benzene and aromatic compounds: nomenclature and properties. Resonance Theory. (6 hours) Oxygenated compounds (alcohols, carbonyl compounds, and carboxylic derivatives). Nomenclature and properties. Keto-enol tautomerism. Nitrogen compounds (amines, imines, purine and pyrimidine bases). Nomenclature and properties. Acidity and basicity of organic molecules (7 hours). Reactivity of organic molecules. Principles of kinetics and thermodynamics, reaction intermediates. Types of chemical reactions based on the mechanism: nucleophilic substitution, elimination, nucleophilic addition, nucleophilic addition and elimination, electrophilic addition, electrophilic addition and elimination (6 hours). Natural substances: monosaccharides (aldoses and ketoses; projections, hemiacetal forms; reactivity, nucleic acids, nucleosides and nucleotides); di- and polysaccharides; α-amino acids (properties, peptide bond, protein structure); lipids (triglycerides: chemical and physical characteristics, phospholipids) (6 hours). Second part - only for MCRBC students (24 hours): -Color, pigments, and dyes (8h) - Binders, varnishes, and solvents (8h) - Examples of restoration and art materials (6h) - Introduction to laboratory experiences (2h) - Laboratory experiences on inorganic pigments and organic dyes (16h).

Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION The exam will be oral and will regard exclusively the subjects treated during the lessons (the slides are available on aulaweb). Students must register 48 hours in advance on https://servizionline.unige.it/studenti/esami/prenotazione The exam of this module will be carried out the very same day as that of the other module. If the student does not pass one of the modules, he/she must repeat both exams in another session. ASSESSMENT METHODS The oral exam is always carried out by two teachers and will last at least 20 minutes per module. In this way the commission is definitely able to verify with high accuracy if the student has reached or not the learning outcomes. During the oral exam the student must demonstrate to have reached the learning outcomes, both orally and (most importantly) writing formulas, chemical equations, mechanisms. When the commission will judge that the learning oucomes have not been reached, the students willbe invited to repeat the exam in one of the subsequent dates. FURTHER INFORMATION MCRBC students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University can find information on support services at the web page https://unige.it/disabilita-dsa/studenti-disturbi-specifici-apprendimento-dsa, provided by the "Services for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and with Learning Disorders”. They can also contact Professor Sara Ferrando (sara.ferrando@unige.it) the DISTAV’s disability liaison.
