Methods of Organic Compounds Identification A 1200-1MIZOAW6
Identification of compounds with chemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic methods.
The lecture covers the following topics:
1. Identification of organic compounds using classical methods:
- elemental analysis of organic compounds
- solubility groups
- identification of functional groups
- separation of mixtures of organic compounds
2. Identification of organic compounds using chromatographic methods:
- classification of chromatographic methods, thin-layer chromatography
- column chromatography
- HPLC
- gas chromatography
3. Spectroscopic methods:
- infrared spectroscopy (IR);
- ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS)
- hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR)
- hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13CNMR)
- mass spectrometry (MS)
Estimated student workload per semester - 37,5 hours, including:
- class participation: 15 hours
- consultations with the lecturer: 7,5 hours
- exam preparation: 15 hours

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE: after completing the course, the student knows and understands:
K_W08, K_W09, K_W14
• advanced knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry (nomenclature, structure of organic compounds, chemical reactions, reaction mechanisms, methods of preparation, occurrence, and applications). Understands the importance of chemical phenomena in processes occurring in living nature;
• methods for identifying organic compounds using chemical, chromatographic, and spectroscopic techniques;
• advanced knowledge of the construction and operation of modern measuring equipment supporting scientific research in chemistry.
SKILLS: after completing the course, the student is able to:
K_U08, K_U09, K_U15, K_U16, K_U26, K_U28
• analyze problems in organic chemistry, including investigating the mechanisms of organic reactions. Can synthesize selected organic compounds. Can separate mixtures of selected organic compounds and purify the resulting components;
• identify selected organic compounds using chemical, chromatographic, and spectroscopic techniques;
• skillfully plan and conduct basic research and experiments in chemistry, and also demonstrate the ability to observe and critically evaluate one's own results and discuss measurement errors;
• apply appropriate methods, techniques, and research tools within a given chemical specialty necessary to clarify the problem, including advanced information and communication techniques;
• is able and willing to continuously improve one's skills and independently search for information in the literature, including foreign languages;
SOCIAL COMPETENCES: after completing the course, the student is ready to:
K_K01, K_K02
• to determine the scope of their knowledge and skills and to improve their professional and personal competencies;
• to independently undertake and initiate simple research activities, and if they are unable to resolve the issue independently, to seek expert advice;
In particular, after the completion of the course, the student know:
- methods used to identify and determine the structure of simple organic compounds;
- chromatographic techniques used to identify and purify organic compounds in various states of matter;
- the ability to use appropriate spectroscopic techniques to determine the type of functional groups present in the compound under study;
- the ability to identify simple organic compounds based on hydrogen and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra
Assessment criteria
Written exam or passing two colloquia, otherwise a retake exam (during the secoond examination period). Each time it will be a test with a set of open or closed questions. Mark is calculated based on the % of points acquired in respect of the maximal treshold: 5 (90-100%), 4,5 (80-89%), 4 (70-79%), 3,5 (60-69%), 3 (51-59%). Absence is not penalized.
