CHEM 311

This course focuses on the application of spectroscopic techniques to the identification of organic and inorganic compounds. Topics include ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The application of these important techniques to environmental chemistry and biomedical science will be discussed. In the laboratory, students will have the opportunity to synthesize, purify and characterize compounds using the methods listed above.
