CHEM 3026 Organic Structure Determination
Investigation of molecular structure by modern spectroscopic methods. This course presents the theory and practice of various spectroscopic methods for structure determination with a focus on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based methods. Emphasizes the integrated interpretation of spectroscopic data and problem solving. The laboratory component provides ‘hands-on’ experience with functional group determination using chemical methods for characterization of organic compounds and problem solving.
