MChem Chemistry with International Study

This course unit detail provides the framework for delivery in 21/22 and may be subject to change due to any additional Covid-19 impact.  

Molecular spectroscopy, chromatography and mass spectrometry are fundamental to chemical analysis and are important tools in all areas of chemistry. In this module, further principles and applications of some of the most common techniques will be presented, building upon ideas and concepts developed in the first year. The primary objective of the module is to present an integrated, coherent discussion of chemical identification using chromatography and a combination of spectra, as practiced in modern synthetic and analytical chemistry laboratories.

The unit aims to explore further the theory, instrumentation and application of molecular spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and ion mobility as applied in analytical chemistry.
