Syllabus
Spectral and diffraction methods used for the structural study of compounds and supramolecular complexes - focused on instrumentation and practical applications 1.1. Electron spectroscopy. 1.2.
IR and Raman spectroscopies. 1.3. X-ray diffraction on single crystals and polycrystalline materials.
Annotation
This course offer introduction to widely-used spectroscopic and diffraction methods – i.e. electron spectroscopy (UV-VIS), vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman) and X-ray diffraction. Determination of the structure of selected compounds and interactions in molecular assemblies by means of molecular spectroscopies are presented and discussed. Finally issues related to the determination of solid-state structure and phase composition by the method of X-ray diffraction on crystalline materials is presented.
