- Abstract:
Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. Molecules respond to different types of radiation in different ways, depending on the frequency - or wavelength - of the radiation. This one-semester course is designed to provide you with a more thorough description of the theory behind each spectroscopic technique as well as its applications. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: Discuss similarities and differences between spectrometry and spectroscopy; Identify the basic components of spectroscopic instrumentation; Demonstrate a working knowledge of mass spectroscopy (MS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy; Describe how a mass spectrometer produces its spectral patterns; Explain the information obtained from a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and how it can be used for analysis; Illustrate the mechanisms that give rise to the infrared absorption bands and identify to which functional groups each correspond; Demonstrate an understanding of the processes responsible for NMR chemical shifts and splitting patterns; Elucidate the structures of organic molecules from spectral data.
