Molecular Spectroscopy Laboratory 1200-2EN-MOSLA1M
The laboratory course consists of four practical sessions designed to familiarize students with the most commonly used spectroscopic methods in chemistry. The laboratory classes aim to demonstrate the application of methods discussed during lectures to solve specific scientific problems, as well as to broaden students' theoretical knowledge.
IR – Application of FT-IR spectroscopy and H/D isotopic exchange technique to study structural changes in gelatin;
R – Analysis of Raman spectra of amides;
UV-VIS – Fluorescence spectra of quinine;
NMR – Analysis of simple NMR spectra;

Learning outcomes
Students are expected to interpret molecular spectra and understand the chemical applications of major spectroscopic techniques.
Assessment criteria
The final grade is the average of the grades from the four laboratory sessions, which are based on a pre-lab quiz, in-lab performance, and a laboratory report. Any absence from the laboratory must be formally excused. Missed classes can be completed during an additional laboratory session. However, only students who have missed no more than two sessions are eligible to attend the make-up labs.
