Organic Structure Determination

3 credits · Undergraduate

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are emphasized in solving structural problems. Topics include 2D NMR, correlation of structure with chemical shifts and coupling constants, operation of NMR spectrometers, NMR relaxation, analysis of spectral patterns, the vector model of 1D and 2D experiments and ionization methods in mass spectrometry.
