- Be able to process data and interpret NMR and ESR spectra, in order to deduce the structure and other properties of molecules and / or supramolecular complexes.
- Design his/her own solutions, selecting the most suitable spectroscopic methods for the study of each chemical problem.
1.- ESR spectroscopy. Acquisition of spectra and interpretation.
2.- One-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Multipulse experiments: homonuclear decoupling, NOE, 13C, DEPT. Interpretation of spectra.
3.- Two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Homonuclear (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY) and heteronuclear (HMQC, HSQC, HMBC) correlations. Interpretation of spectra.

BASIC -------------------
- CB6: Possess and understand the knowledge that provides a basis or an opportunity for being creative and unique in the development and/or implementation of ideas, often in a research context.
- CB7: Students should know how to use the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving capacity in new or little known environments within wider (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
- CB8: Students should be able to integrate knowledge and deal with the complexity of making judgements from information which – being incomplete or limited – includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the use of their knowledge or judgements.
- CB9: Students should know how to communicate their findings and the knowledge and underlying reasons underpinning them to specialised and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
- CB10: Students should have the learning skills that allow them to carry on studying in such a way that should be mainly self-directed or autonomous.
GENERAL -------------------
- CG1: Know how to use the knowledge acquired for practical problem solving in the field of research and innovation, in the multidisciplinary context of biological chemistry and molecular materials.
- CG2: Know how to apply the scientific method and acquire skills for developing the necessary protocols for the design and critical assessment of chemical experiments.
- CG3: Be able to discuss and communicate ideas, in both oral and written form, to specialised and non-specialised audiences (congresses, conferences, etc.) in a clear and reasoned way.
- CG5: Have the skills that allow students to develop an autonomous method for studying and learning.
- CG7: Be capable of working in multidisciplinary teams and collaborating with other specialists, both nationally and internationally.
- CG8: Be able to use scientific literature and develop the judgement needed for its interpretation and use.
TRANSVERSAL -------------------
- CT1: Develop teamwork skills: cooperation, leadership and good listening skills. Adapt to multidisciplinary teams.
- CT2: Draft scientific and technical reports and defend them publicly.
- CT4: Apply the concepts, principles, theories and models related to Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials to new or little known environments within multidisciplinary contexts.
- CT7: Show critical and self-critical reasoning when seeking scientific rigour and quality. Handle IT tools and information and communication technology (ICT), as well as on-line access to databases.
SPECIFIC -------------------
- CE4: Know and understand the chemical tools and analytical techniques used for biological chemistry and molecular materials.
- CE7: Students should acquire knowledge on advanced techniques for the structural characterization of macromolecules, supramolecules and colloids which are relevant in the field of biological chemistry and molecular materials.
- CE8: Gain technical skill for carrying out the structural characterization of molecules, biomolecules, supramolecules and nanoparticles and interpreting the experimental data obtained.
- CE11: Be familiar with the basics of Supramolecular Chemistry, the most significant types of supramolecular entities, characterization methods, their modifications and their application to Science and Technology.
- CE12: Understand the weak interaction forces that control supramolecular processes and know how to apply them for obtaining new materials and biological functions.
EVALUATION OF COMPETENCE -------------------
The evaluation of the competences acquired in the subject will be carried out by the following evaluation systems.
In the final exam: CB9, CG1, CG3, CG5, CT2, CT4, CT7, CE4, CE7, CE8, CE10.
In seminar classes: CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CG1, CG3, CG5, CG7, CG8 , CT2 , CT4 , CE4 , CE10.
In practical laboratory or computer classes : CB6 , CB7, CB10, CG2, CG7, CG1, CT1, CT7, CE4, CE7, CE8, CE10.
Students should participate in various formative activities, with the aim of acquiring the established knowledge and skills.
• Lectures. Explanation of theoretical contents. The active participation of the students will be intended through the formulation of appropriate questions that they should try to answer.
• Interactive classes encouraging student participation (seminars). Discussion of exercises and problems, individually or in groups.
• Combined use of blackboard and fast and anonymous response methods in class (clickers) to know the degree of follow-up of the subject.
• Promoting autonomous student learning, through the work on topics proposed in class.
• Resolution of practical exercises (problems, multiple choice test, interpretation and processing of information, evaluation of scientific publications, etc.).
• Oral presentations of previously prepared topics, including discussion with classmates and teachers.
• Laboratory practicals. Hands-on experiments with scientific instruments and computer programs for data analysis.
The Virtual Campus will be used for delivering the necessary material to the students, according to the professor criterion. This material will include: the course program, exercises and problems to be solved, copies of the classroom presentations, etc.
The qualification of this subject will be determined by CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT and a FINAL EXAM.
The access to the final exam is conditioned to the participation in at least 80% of the compulsory attendance activities (seminars and tutorials).
FINAL EXAM.
There will be a single theoretical-practical final exam that will cover all the contents of the subject. To pass the subject, it will be necessary to achieve a grade of at least 4 out of 10 in the final exam (4/10). Otherwise the score of the elements of the continuous assessment will not be added, the final grade being that obtained in the exam.
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT.
Along the course, the students will do a series of activities (problems, presentation of works, participation in seminars, etc.) that will be evaluated.
CALCULATION OF THE FINAL QUALIFICATION.
In case of passing the final mark of the final exam (4/10), the final grade of the subject will be obtained as the following weighted average:
CF = (0.7 * Ex) + (0.3 * EC)
CF: Final Qualification of the subject (0 - 10)
Ex: Exam rating (0 - 10)
EC: Continuous Evaluation (0 - 10)
The subject will be passed if the final grade is at least 5/10.
In the case of not passing the subject at the 'first opportunity', the student will be evaluated again of the final exam at the 'second opportunity', keeping the grade of the continuous evaluation.
Repeating students will have the same attendance regime for classes as those who take the subject for the first time.

- In the seminar classes we will mainly work on solving problems. The problems and the class schedule will be available to the students in the virtual classroom. Students should try to solve them autonomously in advance of the classes. The solutions will be analyzed in the classes.
- It is advised that students use the recommended bibliography. The faculty will advise the sections of each book that are most appropriate for each topic.
- In case of finding difficulties, students can raise their doubts both in the classes and in the tutorials.
