Abstract
Structure Elucidation of Organic Molecules by NMR (2h, B. Jaun)Electroanlytical Methods (1h, W. Morf)
Objective
Structure elucidation of organic molecules by advanced 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The emphasis of the course is on the selection of optimal strategies for the solution of a problem, spectrum interpretation and possible artifacts. Solving and discussing practical case studies/problems demonstrating the individual methods and, in the last third of the course, the combined application of several methods form an important part of the course. Knowing the most important electrochemical methods and their practical application. Basic elements of chemical sensors.
Content
Structure determination by multi-pulse and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Homonuclear and heteronuclear shift correlation through scalar coupling; one and two dimensional methods based on the nuclear Overhauser effect. Choosing the best strategy for a given problem, interpretation and artefacts. Basics of electroanalytic methods: Potentiometry, polarography (voltammetry), amperometry, conductometry, etc. Chemical sensors: Ion and substrate specific systems, biosensors.
