Aim and Content
The course sums up methods and techniques in organic mass spectrometry. Different types of instrument and the use of the instruments will be compared. Systematisation of fragmentation will be discussed and interpretation of spectra will be emphasised. Structural determination of complicated and polyfunctional molecules will be illustrated.
