介绍了一门研究型无机化学实验课程。使用基于课程的本科生研究经验(CURE)的定义协议,学生进行自行设计的研究项目,以确定用于氨硼烷脱氢的新催化剂。学生选择配体和金属,制备和表征催化剂前体,开发催化剂的协议,并筛选催化剂前体。这些活动旨在与CURE的五个组成部分(研究活动,发现,相关性,协作和迭代)保持一致,本课程作为一个模型呈现,个人可以在自己的机构中开发CURE。通过CURE调查对学生进行了评估,结果显示他们在研究活动和理解科学本质方面都有所收获。
A research-based inorganic chemistry laboratory course is described. Using the defined protocol of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE), students undertake a self-designed research project to identify new catalysts for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Students select ligands and metals, prepare and characterize catalysts precursors, develop protocols for catalysts, and screen catalyst precursors. These activities are designed to align with the five components of a CURE (research activities, discovery, relevance, collaboration, and iteration), and this course is presented as one model from which individuals can develop CUREs at their own institutions. The students were assessed with the CURE survey, which showed gains in both research activities and understanding the nature of science.
