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

在这个项目中，计算机接口二极管阵列紫外-可见 分光光度计由化学系使用， 宾夕法尼亚州立大学-贝伦德学院，以提高本科 分析化学、无机化学、仪器化学 分析，物理化学和本科研究。测定 的配位数，几何形状和异构化动力学 过渡金属络合物，快速分析测量，包括 用二阶比较法分析比尔定律的偏差 多组分分析的扩展是实验， 和数据存储能力使之成为可能。 含铁大环化合物的本科生研究活动 配合物和葡萄酒酚类的分析和测定 广泛使用这种复杂的仪器。

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.
