Description The purpose of this module is to give student a detailed knowledge modern NMR and MS techniques. This will underpin examples that demonstrate why these have risen to prominence in the field of qualitative molecular analysis. Through worked examples the students will gain expertise in the application of the techniques in the identification of unknown molecular species. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Explain in detail how the physical principles underlying NMR, IR and MS provide detailed information that permits the exploitation of these techniques in analysis. 2. Appreciate the technical and physical basis of NMR and MS and how development of these techniques has been possible. 3. Understand the specific information that can be obtained from NMR, IR and MS. 4. Analyse NMR, IR and MS data to identify relatively simple unknown substances. 5. Demonstrate knowledge of the state-of-the-art in the application of NMR and MS in chemical and pharmaceutical analysis. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
