LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Objectives of this course are:
 to provide the basic knowledge about the principles and instrumentation of spectroscopic
techniques like ultra violet-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry
 to apprise the students about the applications of spectroscopic techniques for the structure
elucidation of organic compounds.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

The student will be able to
 Understand the basic principle of IR spectroscopy and its applications.
 Apply the basic concepts of Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy and its applications.
 Apply the concept of mass spectrometry for the determination of structure of organic
compounds based on fragmentation.
 Understand the basic principle of NMR spectroscopy and to apply its role for the structure
elucidation.
