CHEM 2220U – Molecular Structure Determination from Spectroscopic Data

Theoretical basis and applications of mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV-visible and infrared spectroscopies to the determination of molecular structures of organic (and inorganic) compounds. Particular emphasis on NMR spectroscopy including CW and pulsed techniques, Larmor equation, quantum model, chemical shift effects, n+1 rule couplings, multinuclear couplings, long-range couplings, Karplus relation, chirality effects, and magnetic inequivalence.
