Course Discription |
:
This course is designed to develop an understanding of spectroscopy and its application in the elucidation of the structures of chemical compounds. This will include aspects of C H N S O elemental analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The fundamental physical and chemical principles of each method will be discussed. The major emphasis of this course is on chemical structure determination by way of interpreting the data (generally in the form of a spectrum or spectra) that each method provides. |
