| Course contents :
| The course emphasises the complementarities of spectroscopic methods for the identification of organic molecules. The methods described are Mass Spectrometry, Infrared spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic resonance. Methods are introduced one by one and illustrated by exercises that require coupling methods for their resolution. NMR is an important chapter. It includes 1H and 13C RMN as well as 2D RMN. Examples also concern organometallic compounds with non-zero spin central atoms. Exercises resolution and self-training is essential all along the course. | |

| Course objective :
| The objectives of the course are to gather the theoretical and experimental tools necessary to the determination of the structure of organic, organometallic and biological molecules and to describe the method of optimal use of spectroscopic information to determine an univocal structure, at least until connectivities. | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| General Organic Chemistry General Physical Chemistry | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| Practical exercises of problems resolution. The level of difficulty increases in synchronization with the techniques gradually seen during the theory lessons, under the supervision of an assistant. These exercises prepare with a working method allowing a correct management of time and information. | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| 30 hours of course during which the theoretical and experimental basis are presented and illustrated by exercises. 20 hours working directed in the form of practical exercises. 20 hours integrated in the laboratory of organic chemistry and consistent in the analysis of the structure of the compounds synthetised during the laboratory | |
