Organic Spectroscopy

Catalog description

This in-depth lecture course will discuss four common spectroscopic methods used in organic chemistry: ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS). The emphasis will be on the interpretation of the spectra produced by these methods in the identification of organic compounds. Course includes two hours of lecture each week. Prerequisites: CH 343 with a grade of C or better.
