Annotation

Last update: Matějka Pavel prof. Dr. RNDr. (21.02.2018)

The course comprises fundamental terms related to structure and properties of molecules. Furthermore, the course brings a survey of basic concepts of molecular symmetry, electron structure, vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom, corresponding types of molecular spectra and related structural parameters. Moreover, the role of inner electrons is demonstrated. The relationships of both electron spin techniques and NMR spectroscopy including advanced multidimensional experiments to molecular structure and properties are discussed.

Aim of the course

Last update: Matějka Pavel prof. Dr. RNDr. (21.02.2018)

Students will be able to:

Describe the structure of molecules at the static level of equilibrium nuclei positions, electron structure and dynamic description considering vibrational and rotational states.

Explain the fundamental concepts of molecular symmetry.

Apply the concept of point group symmetry on the explanation of structure and properties of molecules.

Explain the fundamentals of techniques suitable for molecular structure ellucidation.
