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

Qualifications

• to recognize functional groups and to know which spectroscopy form is most suitable for detection of a given group


• to identify small unknown organic molecules using each single spectroscopic method or a combination of methods


• to communicate spectroscopic data, orally and in writing


• to handle and assess large quantities of spectroscopic data
