Registration will open November 1, 2001. This introductory level course on the qualitative interpretation of mass spectra of organic, biological, and biochemical compounds is taught through the use of practical examples. Registrants should have knowledge of organic chemistry and organic structures. Extensive problem-solving time is augmented by lectures to illustrate the principles of interpretation.
Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of electron ionization mass spectra.
The workshop format of the course will benefit those with little or no experience with interpretation. An effort will be made to discuss and illustrate the interpretation of spectra in areas of specific interest to the students. A calculator is required. Limited to 40 registrants. Limited to 70 registrants.
