Acquisition of a High Field NMR Spectrometer, and its Integration into the Chemistry Curriculum

化学课程正在升级，购置了一台布鲁克AC-E 250 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，该光谱仪带有一个特殊的探头单元，可以在(可切换的)计算机控制下检测质子、碳13、氟19和磷31核的共振。分析能力正在扩展，能够分析所有四个原子核，并通过计算机处理数据。目前的实验室课程正在扩展，引入了六门课程的新核磁共振实验，并具有对光谱数据进行2D分析的能力，以及在高级论文研究中使用适当的双共振和脉冲技术。学生们正在使用一种用户友好的仪器运行光谱，介绍有机和无机。随着仪器灵敏度的提高，介绍性有机化合物正在转变为微型合成和分析。新的能力正在促进高级论文的研究。受赠人超过了来自非联邦来源的奖励。

The chemistry curriculum is being upgraded with the acquisition of a Bruker AC-E 250 MHz NMR spectrometer with a special probe unit allowing detection of resonances from proton, carbon-13, fluorine-19 and phosphorus-31 nuclei under (switchable) computer control. The analytical capability is being extended with the ability to analyze all four nuclei and the data is being processed via a computer. The present laboratory curriculum is being extended with the introduction of new NMR experiments in six courses and with the ability to do 2D analysis of spectral data and appropriate double resonance and pulse techniques in senior thesis research. Students are running spectra on a user-friendly instrument in introductory organic and inorganic. Introductory organic is being converted to microscale syntheses and analyses with the increased sensitivity of the instrument. Senior thesis research is being facilitated with the new capability. The grantee is more than matching the award from non-Federal sources.
