Spectroscopic Methods in Chemical Analysis 310-CS1-2MSA

Student will pick up the fundamental information about the IR, NMR, UV-VIS and MS spectroscopy. Exact emphasis will be placed on understanding the correlation between structure of the chemical compounds and the information obtained using from chased techniques (IR, NMR, UV-VIS, MS and NHC). At the final stage of the classes, the student have to independently interpret the spectra of simple organic compounds as well as determine the structure of the unknown compounds based on registered spectra/data.

Prerequisites (description)

The general aim of the lectures will be the familiarizing the student with the basic applications of spectroscopic methods for the study of the structure of organic compounds and their identification. Students gain knowledge of the concepts, mechanisms and technical solutions used in the spectroscopic method e.g. IR, UV, MS and 1H and 13C NMR.
