Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Skills training
Learning outcomes
To introduce students to the most widely used method for structural studies in organic and organometallic chemistry and to learn them to use the acquired knowledge for solving their own structural problems.
A student orientates himself in the basic NMR problems, is able to interpret NMR spectra of the organic compounds and to choose the suitable method for solution particular structural problems.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in spectroscopy and organic chemistry

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Basic theoretical knowledge in NMR spectroscopy Skill in interpreting independently NMR spectra of organic compounds Ability to suggest a solution of structural problems by means of NMR spectroscopy.
