CHEM 4443. Structural Spectroscopic Methods. 4 Hours.
Students survey spectroscopic and spectrometric methods for elucidating chemical structures, with emphasis on the identification of unknown compounds. Methods include ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Students explore the strengths, complementary nature, and utility of each method, with focus on structural determination. Offered Spring, even years.
Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in CHEM 1411, CHEM 1412, CHEM 2323, CHEM 2123, CHEM 2325, and CHEM 2125.
