This course provides advanced notions in spectroscopic techniques (NMR, UV-Vis, IR and MS) in the field of organic chemistry, from both theoretical and applied perspectives.
The course of Physical Methods in Organic Chemistry aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge of modern spectroscopic techniques, commonly used in the study of organic molecules in research and control laboratories. The course also aims to provide the ability to identify the most suitable techniques for solving real problems, and to understand UV, IR, MS and NMR spectra of organic molecules. At the end of the course the student will acquire the skills to analyze in depth NMR, IR and MS and UV / Vis spectra, to derive from their combined analysis the structure of unknown compounds, to predict the spectroscopic properties of new compounds, to find spectroscopic data of known molecules through the use of search engines
At the end of the course the student will acquire:
1. Knowledge and understanding
The student knows and understands the fundamentals, the theoretical principles and the applications of the different spectroscopic techniques: IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS and UV-Vis.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
The student is able to interpret IR, NMR, MS and UV-Vis spectra of simple pure organic compounds, and is able to choose the spectroscopic technique or the combination of several techniques suitable for different structural investigations. The student is able to apply the known instrumental techniques to new problems that may arise in areas of research or work.
3. Autonomy of judgment
The student is able to integrate the knowledge acquired during the course with those of the chemical-physical strand that characterizes the Degree Course in CTF (study of equilibria, reaction speed, reaction mechanisms, study of intermediates, selectivity, stereochemistry ). The student will be able to acquire from databases and interpret multispectral data useful for the solution of typical problems in research and production areas such as synthesis laboratories, quality control of active principles, laboratories for the analysis of products of natural origin, of complex mixtures of metabolites. These skills are typically stimulated and developed during the performance of spectral interpretation exercises, during lessons and exercises.
4. Communication skills
The student will be able to communicate what he has learned clearly and rigorously. The student is stimulated to interpersonal communication typically during classroom exercises.
5. Learning skills
The student will have developed autonomous learning skills related to spectroscopic techniques through the consultation of databases, bibliographic material and scientific literature available online.
It is essential for the student to ensure that he or she has assimilated the contents of the Organic Chemistry teachings, since only by adequately knowing the fundamental aspects of the subject does it make sense to devote oneself to the study of the more advanced topics found in this teaching
The course is carried out through lectures, single and group exercises, peer review activities, classroom discussions, solving real problems.
Due to COVID-19 emergency, lectures and exams may take place on TEAMS platform

Written and oral: in the written test is required to identify organic compounds through the interpretation of their IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR sd possibly MS spectra, justifying in detail the choices made. The next oral exam starts as a rule from the discussion of the written test, and then moves on to the exposition of theoretical concepts underlying the various spectroscopies.
Due to COVID-19 emergency, lectures and exams may take place on TEAMS platform
The ability to apply knowledge and understanding and autonomy of judgment are mainly ascertained through a written test, while knowledge, understanding and learning skills and communication skills are mainly ascertained through the oral test.
