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 derived from the interpretation of 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 identify certain functional groups present in a molecule using infrared spectroscopy.

Be able to interpret a UV-visible spectrum and predict a molecule's absorption range based on its structure.
