In this lecture, the principles, instruments, and measurement methods for the instrumental analysis of organic compounds will be introduced. The objective of this lecture is that students learn knowledge on structural analysis and characterization of organic compounds, which is necessary for scientific researches related to organic materials.
Students will be able to acquire the following capabilities by taking this course.
(1) Ability to understand the principles, instruments, and measurement methods for instrumental analysis. (2) Ability to determine the structure of organic materials based on spectral analysis.
(3) Ability to interpret the behavior of organic materials based on spectral analysis.
Infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
This lecture will proceed in the following order: (1) infrared spectroscopy, (2) UV-visible spectroscopy, (3) mass spectrometry, and (4) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In the last class, practice problems and interpretation of them will be provided to check the level of understanding.
Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | Infrared spectroscopy (1) | Explain infrared spectroscopy |
Class 2 | Infrared spectroscopy (2) | Explain infrared spectroscopy |
Class 3 | UV-vis absorption spectroscopy | Explain UV-vis absorption spectroscopy |
Class 4 | Mass spectrometry | Explain mass spectrometry |
Class 5 | Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1) | Explain nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy |
Class 6 | Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (2) | Explain nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy |
Class 7 | Practice problems and interpretation for confirming the level of understanding | Solve practice problems by accurate understanding of the above all lectures. |
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
McMurry Organic Chemistry, international edition of 9th edition
Course materials will be distributed as needed.
Practice problems and interpretation for confirming the level of understanding (85%), level of class participation (15%) (The level of class participation will be calculated by discussion, small examination and so on in the lecture.)
The condition of the study will not be made.
