Learning Goals
The Analysis and Characterization of Organic Compounds curricular unit main goals are:
Study of the main analytical methods used in Organic Chemistry, for the separation and isolation of organic compounds.
Study of the main spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques used for the structural analysis of organic compounds.
This curricular unit also intends to contribute for the improvement of competences concerning the use and selection of the available bibliographical sources in the Internet. Students will also practice and improve their oral presentation skills.

Contents
Separation techniques and isolation of organic compounds:
Column chromatography, HPLC and GC.
Stationary phases, eluents and detection methods.
Hyphenated techniques (LC and GC-MS).
Advanced spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques for structural analysis of organic compounds:
One and two-dimensional of spectrometric techniques of NMR (1H, 13C, DEPT, COSY, HMBC, HMQC, INADEQUATE, NOESY, TOCSY,...).
NMR spectrometry of other important nuclei (15N, 19F, 31P and 29Si).
Infrared spectrometry (FT-IR).
Mass spectrometry.

Teaching Methods
The teaching / learning process is based on the students' individual work, supported by the bibliography recommended by the teacher and notes obtained by the students during the classes. The lectures are classes of exposition of the subject during which there is the resolution of some exercises, clarification of doubts and discussion of topics related to the subject taught. The laboratory practical classes work in conjunction with and complement the theoretical and non-laboratory practical classes, using the planning and execution of laboratory work that gives practical examples of the theoretical contents.
The students evaluation in this curricular unit will have two components, a theoretical and a laboratory practice. For the evaluation of the theoretical component students have two optional modalities, the continued evaluation (2 frequency tests) or the final exam. The final evaluation is given by the contribution of the theoretical components (70%) and laboratory practice (30%).
