Characterisation and Purification of organic compounds
The study of organic compounds begins along with the characterization of the compound and the determination of its molecular structure. The process usually used for this purpose contains the following steps :
(A) Purification of organic compounds
(B) Qualitative analysis of organic molecules
(C) Quantitative analysis of organic molecules
(D) Determination of molecular mass of organic compounds
(E) Calculation of Empirical formula and Molecular formula of organic compounds
(F) Determination of structure of organic compounds by spectroscopic and diffraction methods
