|
| Learning Outcomes: |
- Describe the theoretical basis of a range of analytical techniques and appraise the current developments in the field of analytical chemistry;
- Justify solutions to problems relating to qualitative and quantitative analysis;
- Interpret and predict spectra for a range of commonly encountered NMR active nuclei (I = 0.5 nuclei and quadrupolar nuclei) and characterise free-radicals;
- Describe techniques used to characterise solids and surfaces.
|
| Synopsis: | This unit will build upon the core year 1 unit, expanding your knowledge of spectroscopy and analytical chemistry (e.g. structure elucidation utilising 2D-NMR methods, chromatography GC-MS and LC-MS) with a focus on applications.
|
| Content: | Examples of topics included in this unit are:
Spectroscopy and structure elucidation from a combination of 1D, 2D NMR and other spectroscopic data.
Chromatography and mass spectrometry - HPLC, LC-MS, GC-MS and the ability to appraise and detail their use and how methods are developed.
Characterisation of surfaces - basics of diffraction, XPS, BET surface area analysis and microscopy.
