SQC7006 Molecular Spectroscopic Analysis

This course provides an overview on the following topics:

Basic optical theory; Optical methods of analysis, Absorption and emission spectra; ultra-
violet/visible spectroscopy (basic theory, instrumentation, interpretation of spectra and application);
Infrared spectroscopy including NIR (Basic theory, instrumentation, FT-Infrared spectroscopy;
interpretation of spectra and applications, quantitative infrared analysis, sampling techniques,
reflectance techniques); Raman spectroscopy (Raman effect, instrumentation and applications).

General introduction to the theory of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy which includes
chemical shift, spin-spin coupling, spin relaxation, NMR hardware, 1H and 13C NMR and other
multinuclear species. Aspects of application including spectra analysis (1D and 2D NMR data,
structure elucidation), paramagnetic behaviour, and low temperature NMR.
