|
| Prerequisites/Co-requisites |
|
|
|
| Module Aims |
|
· To provide an advanced understanding of the use of spectroscopic and spectrometric methods (1H- and 13C-NMR, MS, UV visible, Infrared and Raman) in establishing the structure of organic compounds
· To provide practice in the use of spectroscopic and spectrometric methods for structure evaluation.

|
| Learning Outcomes |
-
On successful completion of this module you should be able to:
-
analyse NMR, MS, UV-visible, IR and Raman data to obtain knowledge of the structural elements present in a simple organic molecule and identify organic compounds;
-
assess the application range of these spectroscopic and spectrometric methods and choose appropriate methods for a given problem;
-
predict spectral properties of compounds;
-
use appropriate literature and databases to confirm spectral interpretation.
