Equipment for a New Undergraduate Laboratory Program

该项目将加强新的无机-有机化学和物理化学实验课程。该计划从基础开始，从C、H、N分析开始，扩展到第一年的水平，使用受控大气技术进行有机合成和无机合成，并利用紫外可见和红外光谱等光谱技术。包括微波光谱学和分子束装置在内的物理化学实验是现代物理化学的核心。来自化学共享仪器计划的这项ILI奖将帮助芝加哥大学化学系获得一台CHN分析仪、一个手套箱、IR、UV和微波仪器、高效液相设备以及飞行时间仪器设备。该仪器将用于加强本科生实验教学和进一步开发化学课程。

This project will enhance new experimental laboratory courses in inorganic-organic and physical chemistry. Starting with the basics, the program begins with C,H,N analysis, extends beyond the first year level with work on organic synthesis and inorganic synthesis using controlled atmospheric techniques, and utilizes spectroscopic techniques such as UV-visible and IR spectroscopy. Physical chemistry experiments involving microwave spectroscopy and a molecular beam apparatus are at the heart of modern physical chemistry. This ILI award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago to acquire a CHN Aanalyzer, a glove box, IR, UV and microwave instrumentation, HPLC equipment, and equipment for a time-of-flight apparatus. This instrumentation will be used to enhance undergraduate laboratory instruction and to further chemistry curriculum development.
