| Unit Value | 3 units |
| Course Description |
This course is designed to develop an understanding of spectroscopy and its application in the elucidation of the structures of molecular compounds. Topics to be covered in the course will include aspects of infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Note: Graduate students attend lectures with undergraduate students but attend different tutorials and are assessed separately. Note: This course is delievered on campus during Semester 1 and online during Semester 2.

| Learning Outcomes |
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 1. Recognise roles and limitations of various forms of spectroscopic analysis2. Apply spectroscopic data to solve problems of structural analysis 3. Utilise spectroscopic data in order to fully characterise unknown substances of an advanced level of complexity |
| Indicative Assessment |
Assessment will be based on:
|
| Workload | 30 hours of lectures and tutorials on-campus (or online), and a further 30 hours of independent learning. |
| Course Classification(s) | AdvancedAdvanced courses are designed for students having reached 'first degree' level of assumed knowledge, which provide a deep understanding of contemporary issues; or 'second degree' and higher levels of knowledge; or for transition to research training programs. |
| Eligibility | Students must have a Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent with a major in chemistry with relevant experience or honours. Applicants with the equivalent of a pass degree may be admitted if they have attained a high level of relevant academic achievement. |
| Incompatibility | Incompatible with CHEM2201 or related course in an undergraduate program |
| Consent Required | Requires approval of the graduate program convener in chemistry. |
