Description
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of the proton
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of carbon 13
- Infrared spectroscopy (IR)
- UV-visible spectroscopy
Objectives
To be able to interpret a one-dimensional 1HNMR spectrum and to make a careful description (chemical shift, integration, coupling constants, attribution) in the manner of a scientific publication. Understand what information can be derived from the interpretation of the spectra: geometry, conformation or configuration differences, ...
Be able to interpret a 13CNMR spectrum using a two-dimensional spectrum(1H/13C, HSQC sequence) and to make a careful description (chemical shift, attribution) in the manner of a scientific publication.
Be able to distinguish certain functions present in a molecule using infrared spectroscopy.
Be able to interpret a UV-visible spectrum and predict the absorbance range of a molecule from its structure.
Necessary pre-requisites
It is necessary to have previously followed a basic organic chemistry module dealing at least with stereochemistry and electronic effects. It is also necessary to have the basic notions concerning molecular orbitals.
