ABOUT THE COURSE:In this course, we are going to discuss the fundamentals of two unique spectroscopic techniques: Circular Dichroism (CD) and Mossbauer spectroscopy. These techniques are becoming essential for deciphering the structural dynamics of inorganic complexes in recent times.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Chemistry and chemical engineering masters students Chemistry PhD studentsPREREQUISITES: BSc or BTech
