Later Year Course
| Offered By | Research School of Chemistry |
|---|---|
| Academic Career | Undergraduate |
| Course Subject | Chemistry |
| Offered in | First Semester, 2010 and First Semester, 2011 |
| Unit Value | 3 units |
| Course Description |
This course is designed to develop an understanding and appreciation of the analytical techniques inherent in modern organic and biological chemistry. Lectures will be focused on the understanding of modern nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) in structure determination and cover both theoretical and practical aspects. Other topics to be covered in the course may be chosen from advances in the implementation of mass spectrometry in modern chemistry and the use of chromatography in its various forms in the separation and analysis of organic chemicals. |
| Learning Outcomes |
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 1. understand how nmr sprectra are acquired and appreciate the factors that need to be taken into consideration when acquiring spectra2. analyse 1D nmr spectra to a high level of proficency and be capable of explaining the effects influencing a spectrum from a structural basis 3. utilise 1D and 2D nmr spectra as structure-solving tools 4. understand the different techniques of mass spectrometry and be able to evaluate the most appropriate technique for ionising a compound for mass spectroscopic analysis |
