Study level:

graduate academic studies, integrated basic and graduate academic studies

Study programs:

Chemical Education: 5. year, winter semester, elective (E5AP2) course

Chemistry: 1. year, winter semester, elective (E53H2) course

Teacher:

Jelena J. Mutiæ, Ph.D.
full professor, Faculty of Chemistry, Studentski trg 12-16, Beograd

Assistant:

Darko D. KostiæFaculty of Chemistry, Studentski trg 12-16, Beograd

Hours of instruction:

Weekly: four hours of lectures + two hours of exercises + three hours of labwork (4+2+3)

Goals:

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the new spectroscopic methods. The course is divided into thematic areas and allows students to gain insight into the modern spectroscopic methods applying for determination of analyte contents. A separate section will relate to advantages and disadvantages of these methods for determination and for comparison of different methods. At the end of the course students will be introduced to the possibilities of combining spectroscopic methods for different techniques in order to obtain better results and comprehensive picture of anayte in samples.

Outcome:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to independently and team prepare experiments and select spectroscopic methods, as well as successfully combine these methods with other experimental techniques to complement their further research or find answers and explanations for particular parts of their research.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, labwork, semmester papers.
