CH3431 – Chemistry Workshop

Lecturers:

Dr R. A. Aitken, Professor S. E. M. Ashbrook*, Professor M. Buehl and Dr J. A. McNulty.

(*Module Convenor)

Aim:            

The aim of the module is to provide a basis in a range of analytical techniques including organic spectroscopy, molecular symmetry and point groups and their application to inorganic spectroscopy, and crystallography and X-ray diffraction.  In addition, students will gain experience in chemical information retrieval and searching online databases.
