CHM 5260 - Structural Instrumental Analysis

Credits: 4

This course will cover advanced instrumentation techniques utilized in chemistry research laboratories and the application of these techniques to qualitative and quantitative analysis of molecules. Emphasis will be placed on structural elucidation of complex organic molecules containing stereochemistry using UV-vis spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry (MS), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (1D & 2D). Additional coursework will focus on quantification of compounds by Gas Chromatography (GC) and High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This course is a studio course and will involve 4 hours of lecture/laboratory work per week.
