Instrumental Methods of Analysis I
Objectives
The main objectives of learning in the Instrumental Methods of Analysis 1 discipline are to make students understand, distinguish and master different classical and modern chemical analysis techniques, such as ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, infrared and light scattering ( DLS, Raman, SERS).

Teaching method
|
Theoretical-practical classes with theory concepts and problems. Practical classes with work delivery at the end of each practice or report. Preparation of an group work on a subject referred by the teacher in Portuguese or English and oral defense in Portuguese or English. |
Evaluation method
Theory Grade (NT): average of 2 tests. Small tests during classes may count 15% of NT only if their grade is higher than the tests.
Practice Grade (NP): 70% Laboratories + 30% Seminar
Final Grade: 50%NT+50%NP
The Final Grade must be equal or above 9.5.
Subject matter
1) Error calculation, data processing, statistics applied to analytical data. Calibration techniques.
2) Optical molecular spectroscopies: UV-VIS absorption and emission molecular spectroscopy (absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence). Diffraction networks, monochromators and diode vectors, analyzers.
3) Vibrational Spectroscopies: IR molecular spectroscopy, FTIR. Interferometers. Raman and SERS.
4) Polarimetry, Light scattering (DLS).
