This special topics course is inteded for upper level undergraduates at MSUM. The course covers the interpretation of most commonly employed spectra in chemistry for structure elucidation of molecules; Infrared, NMR, (UV) and MS. This course would be an introduction to the interpretation and basic theoretical concepts in spectroscopic methods of IR, UV-visible, MS and NMR spectroscopy featuring a contemporary presentation of one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and other modern techniques such as DEPT, COSY, and HECTOR.  Mass spectroscopy of biological molecules would be presented.
