Module SPECTROSCOPY & ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Module code: CH202
Credits: 5
Semester: 1
Department: CHEMISTRY
International: Yes
Overview Overview
 

This module examines three important areas of spectroscopy and analytical chemistry.

(i) Spectroscopic methods for structure determination. Material covered includes an introduction to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy; infra-red (IR) spectroscopy - basic theory, the identification of functional groups, mass spectrometry (MS) - basic principles and instrumentation, and an introduction to UV-vis spectroscopy.

(ii) Analytical Chemistry. Material covered includes: an introduction to analytical chemistry and the process of analysis; common measuring techniques and the means by which data is statistically analysed; chemical separations - chromatography.

(iii) Introduction to the Russell-Saunders coupling scheme for electrons on elements with low atomic mass. Use of selection rules in the electric-dipole approximation to predict optical transitions.
