CHEM3022

This course deals in depth with a number of important topics in Modern Spectroscopic Techniques and will be of interest and value to chemists, physicists, biochemists and mathematicians.

Each component of this course is presented by a RSC staff member, who is also a leading researcher in the specific technique being presented. Biophysical applications are highlighted, but no formal background in biology is required.

The course has consists of 3 lectures or tutorials per week in second semester and is structured into 4 components.

1: Essential introductory Quantum Chemistry and Magnetic Resonance.
2: Practice and Principles of Two Dimensional NMR
3: Theory of vibrational spectroscopy and the FTIR technique
4: Fundamentals and applications of Laser and Optical spectroscopy

Mathematical knowledge to first year university level is required.

This is a 3-unit Theory, Honours Pathway Course that involves material of greater conceptual difficulty and research orientation than a standard course.

Unit Value: 3 Units

Coordinator: Professor Elmars Krausz
