Learning objectives
<br />Some of the main topics developed in the "Chimica Fisica 2 " course will be reviewed and deepened through direct lab experiments
Prerequisites
Students should attend "Chimica fisica 2" lectures
Course unit content
<br />Lab experiments:<br /><br /><br />Electronic structure of molecules<br />Measurements of UV-VIS absorption spectra of organic dyes; analysis and interpretation of the spectra using the quantum model of the particle in a box.<br /><br /><br />Vibrational and Rotational structure of molecules<br /><br /><br />Measurements of HCl roto-vibrational spectra <br /><br />Measurements of IR spectra of simple polyatomic molecules; analysis and interpretation of the spectra using group theory.<br /><br /><br />Computer experiences:<br /><br /><br />Semiempirical methods for pi-conjugated systems: Hückel approximation.<br /><br />Calculation of the potential energy curve of HCl using ab-initio quantum chemistry methods.
