Chemistry
Name: Organic Structural Analysis
Catalog Number: 411007Y Hours/Credits: 40/2
Prerequisite(s):
Basic Knowledge of Organic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry
Course Description:
This course will introduce the principles, instruments and applications of several important physical analytical methods; discuss the relationship between the structures of organic compounds and the spectra. By this course, students will learn the applications of various spectra techniques and basic spectra interpretation ability, grasp the basic spectra analysis methods, and further get the structures of organic compounds from the spectra.
