Learning Outcomes
- determine the structure of molecules exhibiting first-order NMR spectra.
- determine molecular formula from MS, NMR, combustion analysis, and other data.
- use NMR, IR, and UV-Vis to identify functional groups.
- apply concepts of topicity and magnetic equivalence.
- identify and explain higher order NMR spectra and determine the structure of molecules exhibiting non-first-order NMR spectra.
- determine the structure of complex molecules using 2D NMR methods.
- recognize and apply the relationship between field strength, nuclear properties, chemical shift, and coupling constants.
- evaluate the applications of spectroscopic determinations of organic molecules in environmental or biomedical contexts, and explain their impact on societal or technological issues.
