Undergraduate - UnitPSC2132 - Introduction to spectroscopy

After completing this unit students will be expected to be able to:

1. Describe how spectroscopic techniques can be used in the process of identification of small drug like molecules;
2. Describe briefly the phenomena behind the spectroscopic techniques;
3. Analyse UV, IR, 1D NMR and Mass spectra of an unknown molecules and to use these to determine their structure;
4. Analyse 2D NMR spectra as a means to assign the NMR spectra of more complex molecules;
5. Demonstrate the correct reporting of spectroscopic data as used in medicinal chemistry.
