Annotation -
This course offer introduction to widely-used spectroscopic and diffraction methods – i.e. electron spectroscopy (UV-VIS), vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman) and X-ray diffraction. Determination of the structure of selected compounds and interactions in molecular assemblies by means of molecular spectroscopies are presented and discussed. Finally issues related to the determination of solid-state structure and phase composition by the method of X-ray diffraction on crystalline materials is presented.

Syllabus -

Spectral and diffraction methods used for the structural study of compounds and supramolecular complexes - focused on instrumentation and practical applications

 The course is divided into the following parts:

1. Electron spectroscopy.


2. IR and Raman spectroscopies.

 - Energy levels and types of transitions, potential energy curves, oscillator models, molecular parameters, selection rules

- Infrared and Raman spectroscopy – basic theoretical principles, instrumentation and spectra collection

- Polyatomic particles vibrations, normal vibrations, number and types of vibrations, symmetry of vibrations, character tables, representations, vibrational spectra interpretations, characteristic group vibrations

- Vibrational spectroscopy of crystals, vibrational spectroscopy and allotropy and polymorphism studies


3. X-ray diffraction on single crystals and polycrystalline materials.

 - Symmetry of molecules, symmetry operations and elements, basic postulates of the group theory, point and space symmetry groups
