Course description

The aim of this course is to introduce the instruments and the relating methods of the most important, modern structural research, as IR-, Raman-, UV-, photoelectron and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. GC and HPLC separation techniques as parts of the most important GC-MS and HPLC-NMR coupled methods are also discussed. This course focuses on the experimental methodology, the theoretical backgrounds and the typical application fields of all aforesaid methods as well. Problem-solving through practical examples.
