Molecular Spectroscopy (A)

4 ch (2C 2L) · Undergraduate

Study theory and experiment illustrating the fundamentals and applications of spectroscopy in the ultra-violet, visible (UV-vis) and infrared. Electronic, vibrational and rotational spectra of diatomic and polyatomic molecules. Radiative and non-radiative transitions. Application of computational chemistry methods for the prediction and interpretation of experimental spectra. NOTES : (1) WHMIS certification required (see beginning of Chemistry Courses section for details); (2) Credit can only be obtained for one of CHEM 4606 or CHEM 4601, and for only one of CHEM 4606 or CHEM 4616.
