Offered Fall: No Offered Winter: Yes Offered Summer: No Offered Other: No

3 Credits
Hours (Lecture - Discussion - Lab): 2-0-3
Prerequisites: CH 111, CH 112, CH 315 and CH 325 junior standing or instructor permission.

A study of the principles, instrumentation and analytical applications of modern spectroscopic methods including mass, infrared, and 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopy. The theoretical basis for each type of spectroscopy, basic instrument design and spectral analysis will be discussed with particular emphasis on the use of a combination of these methods in structural elucidation. Laboratory exercises will focus on instrument operation and data interpretation.
