Introduction to Molecular Spectroscopy
Learn key spectroscopic methods: UV/Visible, Infrared, and NMR. Analyze molecular and electronic structures of atoms and molecules.
Learn key spectroscopic methods: UV/Visible, Infrared, and NMR. Analyze molecular and electronic structures of atoms and molecules.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to three fundamental spectroscopic methods used in chemistry and biochemistry: Ultraviolet/Visible (UV/Vis), Infrared (IR), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. Students will learn how these techniques are used to analyze the molecular and electronic structure of atoms and molecules. The course covers the theoretical principles behind each spectroscopic method, including the nature of electromagnetic radiation, energy levels, and transitions. Practical applications and spectral interpretation are emphasized throughout. The curriculum features interactive screencast presentations, formative quizzes, and numerous exercises to facilitate mastery of each topic. A unique virtual spectroscopic laboratory allows students to measure and analyze spectra online, providing hands-on experience with these crucial analytical techniques.

Advancing Understanding of Photosynthesis through Biophysical Chemistry
Patrick O’Malley is a Reader in Physical Chemistry at The University of Manchester, originally from Mayo, Ireland. He earned his B.Sc., Higher Diploma in Education, and Ph.D. from University College Galway, along with a D.Sc. from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in 2002. His research experience includes positions at Michigan State University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. With over twenty years of teaching physical chemistry at the undergraduate level, Patrick has published extensively on pedagogical innovations and advocates for technology-enhanced teaching methods, serving as the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences academic lead for eLearning. He received a Teaching Excellence award from the University of Manchester in 2010. His research focuses on biophysical chemistry, particularly the electron transfer reactions involved in photosynthesis, making him an international leader in this field. He has published over 100 research papers and presented at various international conferences, employing computational chemistry and high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopies to investigate electron transfer mechanisms. Currently, he is exploring the mechanism of water oxidation in Photosystem II of higher plants, aiming to design an artificial solar catalyst that mimics natural processes.
