Physical Chemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

The lectures are focussed on molecular spectroscopy in different regions of electromagnetic field and its applications to solve chemical problems.

Course description:

Course covers the following subjects: description of the nature of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with atoms and molecules; rotational spectroscopy and its application to study weak molecular interactions; IR and Raman spectroscopy and their applications to organic chemistry; application of group theory to vibrational spectra analysis; electronic (UV) and photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS, XPS), the elements of photochemistry; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applied to study organic chemistry problems, dynamical molecular processes and the relaxation times; the electron spin resonance (EPR) applied to inorganic chemistry; lasers and laser spectroscopy; nonlinear effects.
