Course introduction
The aim of the course is to provide the students with information on molecular spectroscopy and its application for analytical purposes.

Expected learning outcome
After the course, the students are expected to be able to:

  • identify functional groups and identify which form of spectroscopy being able to detection of a given group
  • interpret experimental MS, IR and NMR spectra for the identification of small, unknown organic molecules by any of the spectroscopic methods or a combination of methods
  • combine and value larger amounts of spectroscopic data from the different techniques for the purpose of structure determination
  • discuss the validity of a suggested molecular structure based on experimental spectra
  • solve combined problems on analytical spectroscopy
Subject overview
I. Infrared spectroscopy (IR):

  1. Introduction to IR spectroscopy
  2. Application of IR spectra for identification

II. Mass spectrometry (MS):

  1. Introduction to MS
  2. Determination of molecular formula
  3. Fragmentation patterns
  4. Application of MS for identification

III. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR):

  1. Introduction to NMR spectroscopy
  2. Chemical shift
  3. H-NMR: Spin-spin coupling, Application of 1H-NMR for identification
  4. C-NMR: Application of 13C-NMR for identification
  5. Advanced NMR techniques: DEPT sequence, two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy (COSY spectra, HETCOR technique), application of NMR for identification.

This course uses e-learn (blackboard).

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
  1. Participation in lab exercises is a prerequisite for exam part a.
  2. 2 E-tests must be passed as a prerequisite for exam part b.
Assessment and marking:
  1. Mandatory assignments and reports, passed/not passed, internal evaluation by teacher (1 ECTS).
  2. Written exam, evaluated by the Danish 7-mark scale by external censorship (4 ECTS).

Reexam in part a: 5 assignments and 5 reports in week 5 for winter-exam and in August for summer-exam.

The mode of exam at the re-examination may differ from the mode of exam at the ordinary exam.
