Improvement of Undergraduate Instruction in Chemistry through NMR

桑福德大学化学系最近购买了一台核磁共振光谱仪，从而提高了光谱学概念教学的有效性。学生通过获得不同类型化合物的核磁共振信息，并将这些数据与核磁共振理论以及其他光谱信息相关联，第一手学习核磁共振原理和核磁共振在化学结构中的应用。这就产生了一幅分子的合成“图画”，并教会了学生如何研究化学结构。该仪器仅供化学专业本科生和辅修学生在一些化学课程中使用，在这些课程中，一组精心设计的实验以学生已经学到的知识为基础，按照逻辑顺序教授技术的各个方面。该设备补充了现有的仪器储备，并为该部门提供了更完整的分析工具库，通过这些分析工具可以教授光谱方法。

The effectiveness of teaching concepts of spectroscopy has been improved by the Chemistry Department at Samford University through the recent acquisition of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. Students are learning NMR principles and applications of magnetic resonance to chemical structure, first hand, by obtaining NMR information on different types of compounds and correlating this data with NMR theory as well as other spectroscopic information. This results in a composite "picture" of the molecule, and teaches students how chemical structure can be investigated. The instrument is used exclusively by undergraduate chemistry majors and minors in a number of chemistry courses in which a carefully planned group of experiments teach various aspects of the technique in a logical sequence that builds on what students have already learned. This equipment complements existing instrumental holdings and gives the department a more complete arsenal of analytical tools through which to teach spectroscopic methods.
