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:

• indentify 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 indeintification of small, unknown organic molecules by any of the spectroscopical methods or a combination of methods
• combine and value larger amounts of spectroscopic data from the different technices for the purpose of structure determination
• discuss the validity of a suggested molecular structure based on experimental spectra
• solve combined problems on analytical spectroscopy
