- Contents
- Molecular spectroscopy (vibrational, electronic, Raman, NMR and ESR techniques). Devices (sources, detectors, monochromators) in the various time and frequency domains and in the different states of aggregation. Structural and analytical applications of the common spectrometric techniques.
- Reference texts
- Ask the teacher. Duplicated lecture notes are available.
- Educational objectives
- This course is meant to supply the student with the basic knowledge of spectroscopy for a first approach to the use of the common techniques and their main applications in structural and analytical investigations. The main abilities acquired by the student consist in determining the potentiality and the limits of the various techniques. Moreover, their comparison will allow to choose the most suitable method when facing a particular application.
- Prerequisites
- The course deals with spectroscopic techniques, including both theoretical aspects and practical applications. In order to easily follow the various topics, I advise that the Physical-Chemistry II course has been attended and, if possible, the related exam passed.
- Teaching methods
- This course consists in face-to-face lessons. Laboratory demonstrations given by the teacher are scheduled for infrared and Raman spectrometries, UV-vis spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry.
- Other information
- Attendance is recommended.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam consists in an oral test, lasting 30 minutes on average. The talk is intended to ascertain the acquisition of the concepts and the methods explained during the course. The oral exam will also allow to evaluate the ability to compare the various techinques, including both their potentiality and limits, also taking their potential applications into account.
- Extended program
- The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. General aspects of spectroscopy. Vibrational and electronic spectroscopies. Photochromism. Raman spectrometry. Nuclear magnetic resonance and electronic spin resonance. Devices for spectrometric measurements (sources, detectors, monochromators) in the various time and frequency domains and in the different states of aggregation (gases, liquids, solid matrices). Structural and analytical applications of the common spectrometric techniques. Laboratory demonstrations: infrared and Raman spectrometries, UV-vis spectrophotometry, fluorimetry.
