|
|
| Duration : | 15h Th, 10h QA Sess. |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Bernard Leyh |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| This introductory course focusses on two spectroscopic techniques which find extensive applications in inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry. The following topics will be taught:
- Brief reminder of basic concepts of quantum mechanics, taught in course CHIM0704-1 (co-requisite), in particular the quantum theory of angular momenntum
- One-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1D-NMR)
- Infrared vibrational spectroscopy: basic concepts and application to diatomic molecules
- Introduction to group theory and application to the analysis of vibrational normal modes of polyatomic molecules
- Infrared vibrational spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able
(i) to explain the basic physical principles which govern spectroscopic experiments (nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy);
(ii) to infer, in cases of moderate difficulty, as much information as possible from experimental spectroscopic data. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Prerequisites: Freshman chemistry and physics courses.
Co-requisite: CHIM0704-1 |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| There is no laboratory work foreseen for this course. Problem-solving classes are organized. Problems of both theoretical and numerical nature will be solved. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| 8 two-hour lectures during the second quadrimester
A few problem-solving classes (alltogether 10 hours) |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Lecture notes. Extensive use of the blackboard is made during the lectures. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Written (theoretical and numerical problems) and oral examinations. |
