    Faculty of Science
    Department of Chemistry
    Molecular Spectroscopy (0306442)
    First Semester 2009/2010
    Dr. Abdelaziz Jbarah

    Course Overview:
    Molecular spectroscopy studies the interaction of light and matter and probes the matter and its environ-
    ment. It is the basis of molecular structure determination, many microscope techniques, and most remote
    sensing techniques. This graduate-level class will be techniques oriented and cover infrared (IR), visible,
    ultraviolet (UV), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and emission (fluo-
    rescnece) spectroscopy. We will also discuss most current laser spectroscopic techniques. We'll also discuss
    X-ray, photoelectron and other less "standard" spectroscopic methods.

    Course Goals:
    The class will teach students what information molecular spectroscopy provides to scientists as well as how
    to carry out molecular spectroscopy experiments. Successful student learning outcomes will be to be able to
    know which spectroscopic technique is of utility in a specific situation and know how to record the appro-
    priate spectrum.
