Contents
The course contains an introduction to quantum theory and description of the electron in a potential, rotating, or vibrating molecules, and atomic electronic structure and spectra. The course also introduces the theoretical framework necessary to understand spectroscopic methods, such as UV-VIS-, fluorescence-, CD-, IR-, NMR-, and ESR-spectroscopy. The course gives the necessary foundation enabling practical use of spectroscopic techniques within life science, chemical synthesis, and technical analysis.
Expected learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
Explain the spectroscopic data describing atomic and molecular structures from a quantum-chemical perspective
Describe the theoretical background of spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, ESR, IR, and UV/VIS spectroscopy.
Explain how different forms of energy in atoms and molecules change upon interacting with electromagnetic radiation
Describe the atomic/molecular prerequisites for NMR, ESR, IR, and UV/VIS spectroscopy and the information that can be obtained.
Required Knowledge
Fundamentals of Chemistry, 15 ECTS (5KE080), or the equivalent.
Form of instruction
Teaching consists of lectures and laboratory exercises.
Examination modes
Examination is conducted by a final written examination. The laboratory exercises are given pass/fail grades. The written exam and the full course is given a final grade of fail, pass, or pass with distinction. Those who pass the exam are not permitted to re-sit the exam for a higher grade. A student who has failed a course or part of a course twice is entitled to request appointment of another examiner, unless there are special reasons against it (HF Chap. 6 § 22). Requests for new examiner should be made to the Head of the Department of Chemistry.
Deviations from the course syllabus examination form can be made for a student who has a decision on pedagogical support due to disability. Individual adaptation of the examination form should be considered based on the student's needs. The examination form is adapted within the framework of the expected syllabus of the course syllabus. At the request of the student, the course responsible teacher, in consultation with the examiner, must promptly decide on the adapted examination form. The decision must then be communicated to the student.
Other regulations
In the event that the syllabus ceases to apply or undergoes major changes, students are guaranteed at least three examinations (including the regular examination opportunity) according to the regulations in the syllabus that the student was originally registered on for a period of a maximum of two years from the time that the previous syllabus ceased to apply or that the course ended.
Literature
The literature list is not available through the web.
