79090 - SPECTROSCOPIC METHODS IN COORDINATION CHEMISTRY

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

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 Multinuclear NMR Spectroscopy and Emission Spectroscopy.

Contenuti
