Course content
In addition to education in theoretical and practical methods of research of reaction mechanisms, case studies are commented, taken from the literature or directly from the training workplace and illustrating research methods in the field of reaction mechanisms.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint doctoral students in detail with various types of reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry, with their design and with modern techniques used for their identification (transition state spectroscopy, IRMPD, tracking experiments, etc.).
The student will be able to design and evaluate experiments leading to the elucidation of the reaction mechanism of organic reactions and gain an overview of the experimental techniques used including their limits.
Prerequisites
The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the course Mechanisms of Organic Reactions, taught in the 1st year of the follow-up master's study.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance assessment

During the exam, the student will suggest ways to solve a given problem in the field of research of reaction mechanisms.
