Pre-requisites before taking this module (or general academic requirements): |
CHEM170 Introductory Spectroscopy |
Aims |
|
Main goal: to provide the students with a knowledge of the principles of structural elucidation and application of various spectroscopic and spectrometric analytical techniques for identification and structural characterization of small molecules. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Apply the principles of structural elucidation for identification and characterization of organic compounds |
|
(LO2) Demonstrate awareness of the theoretical concepts and application of NMR spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry (MS), chromatography (GC/HPLC), and hyphenated techniques GC/HPLC-MS in the context of structural elucidation in synthetic chemistry and catalysis |
|
(LO3) Devise an appropriate method or a multi-technique approach in order to establish the structure of organic compounds and/or confirm their authenticity |
|
(LO4) Improve their confidence in scientific communication and presentation of data to subsequently enhance their employability skills |
|
(S1) Students will develop their chemistry-related cognitive ability and skills, relating to intellectual tasks, including problem solving as required by the Chemistry subject benchmark statement |
|
(S2) Students will improve their confidence in scientific communication and develop presentation skills of analytical data |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Lectures (+ lecture-based tutorials, in-person): 32 x 1 hr 1) introduction to structural elucidation, describing principles of structural elucidation, thus connecting this module to CHEM170/286/246. Coursework. Preparatory work in small groups remote and in person, followed by the delivery in-person during workshops. Preparative work for the workshop is organized in a traditional problem-based learning style (groups of 4-8 students working cooperatively on solving o
f a given case). During workshops students refine their presentation upon formative feedback from staff and present and discuss the results to the audience composed of staff and students. *Lectures: 32 hr |
