Description
This course will allow students to revise and update their knowledge of some advanced instrumental methods used in chemical research including FTIR, NMR (1D, multinuclear), chromatography-mass spectrometry systems, X-ray diffraction and ICP-MS. The emphasis will be on sample preparation and acquisition of data, adopting a problem solving approach simulating their use in research. NOTE: This course is a pre-requisite to producing a dissertation in Chemistry.
