The Introduction of Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis intothe Chemistry Curriculum

一台Perkin-Elmer 1640型FT-IR分光光度计已经完成，配有漫反射附件和图形绘图仪。FT-IR分析的理论和实践将被纳入有机学入门课程和五门高级实验室课程。该仪器也被用于本科生的研究。具体的课程改进包括在有机实验室加强和扩展红外分析，将FT理论和仪器引入分析，以及将IR分析扩展到小样本和不透明材料，并广泛展示FT-IR作为定性和定量工具的能力。受赠人与非联邦服务机构的奖励相匹配。

A Perkin-Elmer Model 1640 FT-IR spectrophotometer complete with a diffuse reflectance accessory and a graphics plotter has been acquired. The theory and practice of FT-IR analysis is being incorporated into the introductory organic course as well as five upper division laboratory courses. The instrument is also being used in undergraduate research. Specific course improvements include the enhancement and expansion of IR analysis in organic laboratories, the introduction of FT theory and instrumentation into analytical, as well as the extension of IR analysis to small samples and opaque materials and extensive demonstration of the FT-IR capabilities as both a qualitative and quantitative tool. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal services.
