Aims |
|
The aim of this module is to introduce modern spectroscopic methods in chemistry. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) By the end of this module, students should be able to demonstrate: |
|
(LO2) Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental principles behind rotational, vibrational, electronic spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. |
|
(LO3) Demonstrate an understanding of the application of spectroscopic techniques to elucidate molecular structure. |
|
(LO4) Demonstrate the ability to apply this knowledge to real spectroscopic problems. |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Lectures delivered synchronously to cover module syllabus. Students will be given access to an accompanying textbook to reinforce material. The final lectures in each Semester will be used for revision purposes. *Workshops: 20 hr |
