Catalog description

This course serves as an introduction to the methods of structural and spectral analysis typically employed in the identification of organic molecules. Many instrumental techniques exist for the investigation of chemical structures, each of which provides unique information about the composition and structure of a compound. This course does not heavily emphasize the theoretical aspects of spectroscopy and instrumentation, but focusing primarily on the application of these techniques through the interpretation of spectra of organic molecules, and reaction mixtures. C- or better in (CHE234 and CHE235) or (CHE238 and CHE239) are prerequisites for this course.

Resource relevance

Relevant applied coursework per catalog description review (labs, studios, instrumentation, media production, or similar).
