DESCRIPTION& OBJECTIVES

Spectroscopic techniques including in this course are very important regarding the identification and characterization of newly synthesized or isolated chemical compounds having different natures using IR & FTIR. Structure elucidation can be done by using NMR and Mass spectrometry Techniques. These courses develop the skill in the student to determine the structure of various unknown samples. NMR studies enable the students to characterize the newly synthesized compounds. Similarly Mass spectrometer helps to find the structure of naturally occurring and chemically synthesized compounds.
