Structure Determination Using Spectroscopic Methods. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: CHE 3643 or equivalent. An introduction to the techniques of multinuclear (1H, 13C) NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry as powerful tools for structure elucidation in organic chemistry. A brief introduction to the principles of NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry will be followed by extensive analysis and discussion of NMR parameters such as chemical shift, coupling constants, splitting patterns, etc. The course will also describe the use of multi-pulse experiments (spin decoupling, NOE, APT, INEPT, DEPT etc.) and 2-dimensional techniques (COSY, NOESY, ROESY, etc.) along with mass spectrometry in the structure elucidation of natural products and organic small molecules. This course has Differential Tuition. Course Fee: GS01 $90.
