AbstractThis course will provide fundamental knowledge about the principal analytical techniques for nanoscale molecular imaging. In addition to the basic concepts, students will also learn the application of advanced molecular characterization tools to solve problems in the chemical, biological and material sciences.

529-0289-00LSpectra Interpretation of Organic Compounds2 credits2GR. Zenobi, K. Eyer, N. Kumar, Y. Yamakoshi
AbstractExercises in interpretation of molecular spectra
Learning objectiveMastering the interpretation of molecular spectra.
ContentIn the first part of the lecture, the students work in small groups on solving particular problems in structure elucidation, interpreting mass, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, and UV/VIS spectra, optionally in discussion with the lecturers. In the second part the problems are solved by a lecturer.
Lecture notesSpectroscopic problems will be distributed
