Acquisition of a High-field FT NMR Spectrometer for Under- graduate Research and Instruction

高场傅立叶变换核磁共振光谱仪系统包括可变温度、硬盘和协处理器附件，用于引入物理、无机、高级分析和有机化学入门实验课程中的新实验。本科科研项目的科学生产力正在大幅度提高。该仪器使学生研究项目成为可能的例子包括：(1)增强热光化学Cope重排的立体化学研究；（二）噻吩基取代聚烷氧羰基乙烯作为可能的聚噻吩前体的脱氧羰基化反应的合成及区域化学和立体化学研究；（三）希夫碱配位化合物作为激光材料的合成及构象研究；（四）有理论意义的有机硅化合物的合成。受资助者正在匹配非联邦来源的奖励。

A High-Field Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer System including variable temperature, hard disk, and coprocessor accessories is being used to introduce new experiments in the Physical, Inorganic, Advanced Analytical, and Introductory Organic Chemistry Laboratory Courses. The scientific productivity of the undergraduate research program is being substantially increased. Examples of student research projects which are being made possible by this instrument included: (I) studies of the stereochemistry of augmented thermal and photochemical Cope rearrangements; (II) synthesis and studies of the regio- and stereochemistry of dealkoxycarbonylation reactions of thienyl substituted polyalkoxycarbonyl ethenes as possible polythienyl precursors; (III) synthesis and conformational studies of Schiff base coordination compounds as possible laser materials; and (IV) the synthesis of silicone compounds of theoretical interest. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.
