Teaching Division:

Physical Chemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

A student should be able to carry out a basic interpretation of spectra and know the applications of the most important spectroscopic methods in chemistry.

Course description:

The course consists of five laboratory exercises, during which a student gets familiar with the spectroscopic methods which are most often applied in chemistry. The exercises are aimed at demonstration of practical applications of methods presented during the lecture, and at extending the theoretical knowledge.

UV VIS - The influence of substituents on the electronic spectra of benzene derivatives.

IR - Investigation of hydrogen bonds by means of infra red spectroscopic methods.

R - Analysis of the mixture of xylenes on the basis of their Raman spectrum.

EPR - Parameters and hyperfine structure of the EPR spectra of organic radicals.

NMR - Interpretation of simple NMR spectra.

Required background:


Elementary course in quantum chemistry.

Form of assessment:


Graded on the basis of partial grades from the individual laboratory exercises.
