Summary
Subject deals with structure of chemical compounds description from either theoretic (simulation and theoretic calculations) or practical (intensification of spectral and separation methods of instrumental structural analysis) point of view.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Objective of the course - aims of the course unit: To teach students the basis of evaluation of the results of selected methods (XRD, NMR, vibration spectroscopy, MS, ...) for identification of chemical compounds and substances.

Acquired knowledge: theoretical and practical knowledge of the spectra of selected analytical methods for the identification of chemical compounds and substances.

Acquired skills: ability to evaluate the spectra of selected analytical methods for the identification of chemical compounds and substances.
