CHEM6022 Spectroscopic Techniques in Biophysical Chemistry

Offered By Research School of Chemistry
Academic Career Graduate Coursework
Course Subject Chemistry
Offered in Second Semester, 2011 and Second Semester, 2012
Unit Value 3 units
Course Description

The course deals in depth with selected topics in modern spectroscopic techniques for chemists, physicists and mathematicians.  Biophysical applications are highlighted byt no formal background in biology is required. Specific Techniques treated are:

  • Magnetic resonance of electrons (ESR) and nuclei (NMR)
  • Vibrational Spectroscopy
  • Electronic Spectroscopy

Note: Graduate students attend joint classes with later year undergraduate students but have different tutorials and are assessed separately.

Learning Outcomes

On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to explain the basics of modern magnetic resonance of electrons (ESR) and nuclei (NMR), electronic structure and spectroscopy  and vibrational spectroscopy.

Indicative Assessment

Assessment will be based on:

  • Assignments (50%; LO 1)
  • Exam (50%; LO 1)
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.
