Abstract
Principles of the most important separation techniques and the interpretation of molecular spectra.
Objective
Knowledge of the necessary basics and the possibilities of application of the relevant spectroscopical and separation methods in analytical chermistry.
Content
Application oriented basics of instrumental analysis in organic chemistry and the empirical employment of the methods of structure elucidation (mass spectrometry, NMR-, IR-, UV/VIS spectroscopy). Basics and application of chromatographic and electrophoretic separation methods. Application of the knowledge by practising.
Resources
Lecture Notes
A comprehensive script is available in the lecture. A summary of the part "Spektroskopie" defines the relevant material for the exam.
