FOUR IMPORTANT SESSIONS
ACS INTENSIVE SHORT COURSES June 8-10,1977/Barbizon Plaza Hotel, New York, NY One of the most accurate methods of determining molecular structure
Learn to make more effective use of your creative potential
INTERPRETATION OF MASS SPECTRA
CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING
DATES: June 8-9,1977 (Wednesday and Thursday) INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Don C. DeJongh, Professor of Chemistry, University of Montreal.
DATES: June 8-9,1977 (Wednesday and Thursday) INSTRUCTOR: Eugene Raudsepp, President, Princeton Creative Research, Inc., Princeton, NJ
FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00 Designed to acquaint participants with mass spectrometry and its use in solving practical chemical problems, the course includes such topics as the types of samples amenable to mass spectrometry, the types of information available from a mass spectrum, and how this information can be obtained. The emphasis is on problem solving and extensive time is provided for participants to practice interpretation of the mass spectra of a variety of organic compounds. The equivalent of a B.A./B.S. in chemistry is required. Since the course is organized around problem solving, each registrant will be able to proceed at the rate best suited to his/her background.
FEE: ACS Members, $195,000; Non-members, $235.00 Designed to enhance innate creative capabilities, this new ACS Short Course will aid participants in producing better and more effective solutions to the problems encountered in their work. The course focuses on the factors that inhibit creative problem solving and expressiorvand methods and techniques to overcome them. Research chemists, chemical engineers and other technical professionals interested in this vital field will benefit. Taught at the level of a university graduate course. A complete framework for the practical use of C-13 NMR concepts and spectral characteristics
Master one of chemistry's most versatile techniques
GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY DATES: June 8-9,1977 (Wednesday and Thursday) INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Roy A. Keller, Professor of Chemistry, State University of New York at Fredonia and Dr. Michael F Burke, Associate Professor of Chemistry, University of Arizona. FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00 Emphasizing practical applications, this introductory course covers the basic principles and procedures of gas chromatography, enabling partic i pants to ope rate a variety of instruments, read the current literature, and comprehend and evaluate new developments as they appear. The limits of application of GC will be discussed as well as logical approaches to separation design. No prior knowledge of GC is presumed. The equivalent of a B.A./ B.S. in chemistry is required.
Class size is limited, so early action is advised. Students, and retired and unemployed members: Write for information on special discounts.
CARBON-13 NMR SPECTROSCOPY DATES: June 8-10,1977 (Wednesday through Friday) INSTRUCTORS: Dr. George C. Levy, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Florida State University and Dr. Paul D. Ellis, Associate Professor of Chemistry, University of South Carolina. FEE: ACS Members, $195.00; Non-members, $235.00 This introduction to the methods and characteristics of natural abundance C-13 NMR spectroscopy emphasizes its use in solving practical chemical problems. Theoretical treatments are qualitative; applications to molecular structure analysis are emphasized. The course stresses the use of C-13 NMR concepts and spectral characteristics. It also provides a non-mathematical introduction to Fourier transform NMR, and discussions of various classes of compounds including aliphatics, aromatics, ions and other intermediates, organometallics, natural products, and synthetic and biological macromolecules. Spinrelaxation parameters are introduced, and their use in C-13 NMR is outlined with examples. Designed for chemists who have some experience in proton NMR, the course requires no particular degree as prerequisite.
