CHEM 5221

Practical Applications of Spectroscopy

This course surveys spectroscopic methods in order to deduce the structure of organic compounds from an examination of spectra, with an emphasis on infrared spectroscopy, mass spectometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and ultraviolet spectroscopy. Students will be introduced to a wide array of powerful and elegant tools for obtaining qualitative information about the structure of matter. This course will require a good amount of thought, yet all of the concepts and associated mathematical manipulations are within the reach of a student who has met the prerequisites. Restriction: Restricted to degree-grantinggraduate programs. Cross-listed with CHEM 4221.
