KJM4000 – Applied spectroscopy
Course description
Course content
General principles of spectroscopy are treated. Different spectroscopic methods which are used for structure determination of organic compounds are described. These methods include ultraviolet (UV) and visible spectroscopy, infra-red (IR) spectroscopy, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). Training in spectral interpretation using the different methods is given in the colloquia. Combination of the information obtained using the different methods is given a high priority.
Learning outcome
To enable the student to apply spectroscopic methods in order to determine the constitution of organic compounds.
