SPECTROSCOPIC METHODS IN STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Undergraduate

This course examines ultraviolet, visible, infrared and n.m.r. spectroscopy and mass spectrometry in terms of the physical processes responsible for the energy absorption and ion generation. Problems associated with the recording and interpretation of spectra are addressed and the application of spectral analysis to structural identification is stressed. PREREQUISITE: Chemistry 2410/2420 with a combined minimum average of 60% or Chemistry 2430 with a minimum grade of 60% Three lecture hours and three hours laboratory a week
