Abstract

Exercises in interpretation of molecular spectra

Objective

Mastering the interpretation of molecular spectra.

Content

In the first part of the lecture, the students work in small groups on solving particular problems in structure elucidation, interpreting mass, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, and UV/VIS spectra, optionally in discussion with the lecturers. In the second part the problems are solved by a lecturer.

Resources

Lecture Notes

Spectroscopic problems will be distributed
