Description
- Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- Infrared spectroscopy (IR)
- UV-visible spectroscopy
Objectives
Be able to interpret a one-dimensional 1HNMR spectrum and provide a detailed description (chemical shift, integration, coupling constants, assignment) in the style of a scientific publication. Understand what information can be gleaned from interpreting spectra: geometry, differences in conformation or configuration, etc.
Be able to interpret a 13CNMR spectrum using a two-dimensional spectrum (1H/13C, HSQC sequence) and provide a detailed description (chemical shift, assignment) in the style 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 based on its structure.
