This course focuses on the structural elucidation of molecules through the use of mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A thorough consideration of the operation of the instrumentation used to obtain the spectra will also be addressed. Additional topics may include ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies and x-ray diffraction techniques.
