Structural Elucidation
Structure elucidation is the process of determining the chemical structure of a compound. For organic
compounds, it will often involve the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR
spectroscopy). Other characterization techniques include mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and
X-ray crystallography.
Characterization
UV/Vis spectroscopy is routinely used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of
different analytes, such as transition metal ions, highly conjugated organic compounds, and biological
macromolecules
