Ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectral techniques are essential tools in chemistry. A solid understanding of their fundamental principles and applications is crucial for effectively elucidating the structure of small molecules. This knowledge enables researchers to navigate the complexities of compound identification and characterization. To facilitate this learning, the Department of Chemistry at the School of Advanced Sciences, Vellore Institute of Technology, is conducting a two-day workshop on “UV, IR, NMR, and Mass Spectral Techniques: Basic Principles and Their Applications for the Structural Elucidation of Small Molecules”.
