Subject objectives
The general aim of this course is that the students learn the fundamental aspects of electronic spectroscopy, in particular of fluorescence, and photochemistry. Special attention will be paid to the utility of fluorescence to know the molecular behavior in excited electronic states and in the applications of fluorescence in Chemistry, Biology and Medicine. At the end of the course the student should be able:
• To understand the fundamentals of electronic spectroscopy and fluorescence and the molecular features in excited electronic states.
• To know the fluorescence techniques to measure fluorescence.
• To describe the fluorescence quenching mechanisms and their utility.
• To understand the mechanisms of electronic energy transfer and their use in structural studies.
• To know how to use different fluorescence methods to obtain structural and dynamic information about the molecular and supramolecular environment.
• To know the most important types of fluorescence probes and their applications.
• To do fluorescence measurements confidently and correctly.
