    MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY

    Chemistry 632 Overview and Schedule ---- Spring 05

    Instructor Dr. William Simpson (NSF 186, IARC 334 or 335, 474-7235, [email protected])
    Office Hours MWF 1:30P – 2:30P, and any other time by appointment
    Lecture MWF, 4:40P – 5:40P, NCSI 204
    Text “Molecular Spectroscopy”, John M. Brown, Oxford University, UK
    Optional Text “Laser Spectroscopy”, Wolfgang Demtröder, Springer Verlag, Germany
    Supplements Handouts in class and assignments in current literature
    Credits 3 credits

    Course Overview:

    Molecular spectroscopy studies the interaction of light and matter and probes the matter and its
    environment. 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 IR,
    visible, UV, and emission (fluorescnece) 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 appropriate spectrum.

    Course Structure

    The class will consist primarily of lectures by the professor. These lectures and reading in the text will
    prepare you to complete the homework problem sets. Much of your learning of molecular
    spectroscopy will occur during your solving of the problem sets. I would encourage you to work with
    others to complete these problem sets but you must write up your own answers independently. I will
    assign students to read recent papers in the literature and report to the class on their paper. There will
    also be two examinations, one at midterm, and one at the course's completion. I will work with the
    Office of Disabilities Services (203 WHIT, 474-7043) to provide reasonable accommodation to
    students with disabilities.

    Important Dates:

    Last day for student-initiated and faculty-initiated drops ........................... Friday, Sept. 16
    Last day for 50% refund of tuition (tuition only, no fees refunded) .......... Friday, Sept. 16
