Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to provide the necessary tools for the structure elucidation of organometallic and inorganic compounds. At the end of the course the student should have an understanding of: solution- and solid-state Infrared Spectroscopy, Multinuclear NMR Spectroscopy. Mass Spectrometry, Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy. In addition, the students will gain some basic knowledge about the preparation of the main classes of coordination compounds.
Course contents
