A graduate-level treatment of modern NMR spectroscopy and complementary analytical techniques, with an emphasis on practical structure elucidation of organic molecules. Synopsis: NMR spectroscopy is among the most powerful tools available for characterising molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions. This course surveys the 1D and 2D NMR experiments commonly used in chemical research, building from a conceptual foundation in nuclear spin, chemical shift, and ...

CHEM 720(0) 02 [0.5] is a graduate course in Mass Spectrometry (MS) with prior average enrolments of 20 students in the class. During the three decades, mass spectrometry has evolved as a powerful technique for analyzing a variety of materials ranging from small molecules to large biopolymers. Mass spectrometry has been used in many areas of research including chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, pharmacology, medicine, and forensics. This course provides an opportunity for ...

Students will prepare a written literature review on a topic relevant to their research proposal. Incoming MSc thesis students are required to take this course within the first two semesters of their program and are strongly encouraged to take it in their first semester. ...
