ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 1.50 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language: Polish
Type of course:

elective monographs

Prerequisites (description):

It is assumed a student has knowledge of quantum chemistry and spectroscopy at the level of Quantum Chemistry and Molecular Spectroscopy courses taught for the 1st year of Master studies at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw

Short description:

Obtaining information on the basic principles of quantum chemical modeling of parameters of optical spectroscopy (electronic and vibrational), of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and tools used for the purpose.

Full description:

The course is addressed to the students intending to use spectroscopic and molecular modeling methods in their studies, independent of their main specialization. The course will cover: Definitions of molecular properties and their connection with spectroscopic parameters. Summary of the basic methods of quantum chemistry applied in calculations for molecules: Hartree-Fock method, ab initio methods including electron correlation, density functional theory. Parameters of electronic spectra: excitation energy, transition moment (oscillator strength). Paramaters of circular dichroism. Parameters of vibrational spectra: vibrational frequencies, IR intensities, Raman intensities. NMR shielding constants/chemical shifts, spin-spin coupling constants. Spin-orbit coupling constant and g-factor in EPR spectra. Computational software used for calculations of molecular properties (Gaussian, Dalton).
