An Ultraviolet-Visible Computing Spectrophotometer for Laboratory Courses and Undergraduate Research

在这个项目中，宾夕法尼亚州立大学贝伦德学院化学系正在使用一个计算机接口二极管阵列紫外可见分光光度计，以加强分析化学、无机化学、仪器分析、物理化学和本科生研究的本科教学。该仪器的速度和数据存储能力使过渡金属配合物的配位数、几何形状和异构化动力学的测定、快速分析测量（包括通过二阶比较对比尔定律偏差的分析）和扩展到多组分分析成为可能。本科生对含铁大环配合物的研究以及对葡萄酒酚类物质的分析和测定也广泛使用这种精密的仪器。

In this project, a computer-interfaced diode array ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer is being used by the Chemistry Department at Pennsylvania State University-Behrend College to enhance undergraduate instruction in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, instrumental analysis, physical chemistry, and undergraduate research. Determination of the coordination number, geometry, and isomerization kinetics of transition metal complexes, rapid analytical measurements including analysis of Beer's Law deviations by second order comparisons with extentions to multicomponent analysis are experiments which the speed and data storage capabilities of this instrument make possible. Undergraduate research activities on iron-containing macrocyclic complexes and on the analysis and determination of wine phenols also utilize this sophisticated instrumentation extensively.
