The course introduces elementary quantum mechanical models for different kinds of molecular motion, for instance translation, rotation and vibration. In turn, these models provide a basic understanding of:
1) Atomic and molecular properties, chemical bonding and intermolecular interactions.
2) Important spectroscopic methods such as UV/Vis, IR, MW and NMR.
In addition, by using statistical thermodynamics it is demonstrated how molecular properties obtained from simple quantum mechanical models and spectroscopic data, can explain macroscopic thermodynamical properties, primarily for ideal gases and their reactions and equilibria.
The course also includes a few simple examples from topics like adsorption, surface phenomena and macromolecules.
Freely available software is used for visualisation and calculation during the course.
