THE EXPERIMENTS
Visual summary of the three experiments and the structure elucidations to be solved by the students. All students will get different compounds:


TRAINING (2017): Intro to course and performing experimental part & Interpretation of experimental results
There are THREE training days 22-23-24 jan 2020 (from 10-17 h)
  • At home Reading of manual
  • Wednesday Jan 22 Introduction to course and performing the experiment yourself.
  • Thursday Feb 23 Interpretation of spectral results and structure elucidation at your own
  • Friday Feb 24 Interpretation of spectral results and structure elucidation
  • Please let us know via the contact form in case your training day clashes with other activities. Please bear in mind that teaching duties overrule research.

PREPARATION
  • For this course you need to refresh your IR, NMR, MS spectroscopy background. This may be through self study or

Look at the detailed time table below and see that for each experiment you start with a full day of experimental work and you continue one week later(X-stream) or two days late (Y-stream) in which you wind up the experiment during an afternoon session. This time span allows us to run the necessary spectra. During the interpretation session students should finalize their work under your supervision and at the end of the session should hand in their labjournals, no delay is allowed. Make sure to communicate this protocol with your students at the start of the experiment.
