CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND CHARACTERIZATION

CHE5CSC

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Chemical Structure and Characterization develops and extends knowledge and skills in understanding molecular structure, and the characterization techniques and tools used to determine molecular structure. Key concepts of bonding and molecular structure will be reinforced, together with structural characterization associated with the instrumental techniques of mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy, separation science and chromatography. The subject will combine lectures with workshop classes that focus on practical problem solving and real world applications.

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Relate molecular structure to models of bonding, intermolecular forces, and chemical characterization techniques.

02. Describe and apply chemistry techniques and instrumental methods for chemical structural characterisation.

03. Analyse Mass Spectrometry, NMR Spectroscopy, infrared and UV-Vis spectra for the identification and characterisation of chemical species.

04. Interpret Infrared and Ultraviolet-Visible spectra in terms of the spectroscopic transitions that occur within vibrational and electronic energy levels.

05. Apply relevant mathematical, graphical and computational methods to acquire, manipulate, interpret and evaluate chemical data and summarise results using appropriate significant figures and units.
