Annotation -
This subject is focused on the application of theoretical fundamentals of spectroscopic methods, such as NMR, IR, UV and mass spectrometry for solving synthetic and synthetico-analytical issues in real life. Students will familiarize with advanced methods in structural analysis of molecules including the practical use of instrumentation (e.g. acquisition of multidimensional NMR spectra).Furthermore, modern separation methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography with mass detection (HPLC-MS) and supercritical fluid chromatography with mass detection (SFC-MS) will be introduced. Practical demonstrations of the instruments (NMR, SFC-MS, preparative HPLC, etc.) are also a part of this course. Subsequently, students will apply obtained theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills for solving a project, the goal of which is the identification of an unknown substance.
