Purpose of class
Understanding of the principle and usage of spectroscopy in quantitative and structural analysis of chemicals. Specifically, the course aims to deepen students’ understanding of spectroscopy by achieving the following three items.
1) Understand the principle of absorption spectroscopy
2) Understand the principle of quantitative analysis of the chemical by spectroscopy
3) Understand the way to analyze the structure of the chemical by spectroscopy
Course description
Spectroscopy is a method of quantifying the amount of substance, molecular structure, and intermolecular interactions using absorption, emission, and scattering of waves. Spectroscopy contributes a lot to modern analytical chemistry, providing not only a practical means of analysis, but also being used in a wide range of fields such as medicine, pharmaceuticals, food analysis, environmental measurement, and astronomical measurement. Students will learn how to quantify samples, analyze molecular structures, and quantify molecular interactions using electromagnetic waves based on knowledge of organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry, while also referring to structural chemistry.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the principle of absorption spectroscopy
  2. Understand the principle of quantitative analysis of the chemical by spectroscopy
  3. Understand the way to analyze the structure of the chemical by spectroscopy
