| CHM416: Structural Analysis of Compounds | 6 credits (40-10-10) |
Objectives
To combine the various spectrometric methods (x-ray crystallography, ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry) in ways that uniquely determine the structures of organic and inorganic compounds.
Contents
Application of spectrometric methods in the determination of organic structures; General rules for solving spectral problems; Mass spectrometry: all classes of organic compounds; Ultraviolet spectroscopy: various uses and interpretations of the Beer-Lambert law; hypsochromic, bathochromic, hyperchromic and hypochromic effects; Chromophores and auxochromes; Applications of group frequencies in the infrared NMR spectroscopy: continuation and applications of the principles enunciated in CHM 316; X-ray crystallography: diffraction geometry; molecular solid; amplitude of scattered rays from electrons and atoms; atoms; atomic scattering factor and structure factor; resolution of phase problem; heavy atom isotope methods; Determination of molecular structure.
