The chemical structure of compounds is one of the basic characteristics which a scientist needs to know to further predict its properties and its interaction with other substances, light, and its probability as a potential drug candidate. In the second half of the last century, spectroscopic techniques have flourished so much that scientists and researchers are using them efficiently as a tool for structure determination of compounds. The most frequently used spectroscopic techniques for this purpose are UV/visible, Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mas Spectrometry (MS). Each technique furnishes different information about the structure of the compounds, which may be combined to get to the final structure. Let’s see how useful these techniques are.

Since its outbreak in the later part of 2019, the CORONAVIRUS (SARS-COV2) has absolutely shattered normal life on the planet. Apart from affecting economy, education, businesses, and sports, this deadly virus has claimed more than three million lives worldwide. While struggling and fighting against the virus for better part of 2020, using the sanitization protocols, wearing face masks, lockdowns, etc. Man has finally prepared vaccine against the pandemic, thanks to science after all.
Organic synthesis is a useful method for the preparation of fine chemicals of profound importance. Multi-step synthetic schemes are usually designed for synthesizing a target molecule, involving various strategies. The importance of organic synthesis can be judged by the fact that it is an alternative way of producing medicinally important natural products, which are often biosynthesized in low yields.
Going through a long journey filled with success, failures, and discoveries, finally the periodic table is complete. Scientists have confirmed the discovery of four new elements which has completed the table, filling the empty spaces. Elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, 117, and 118 have been discovered.
