Auburn Regional Undergraduate Inorganic Chemistry Faculty Enhancement Workshop - June 1989

正在举办为期一周的无机化学研讨会，为地区本科生教师提供一些现代技术方面的经验，并使他们接触到双核有机金属化合物的化学。预计这些经验将加深他们对这些发展的理解，他们将在自己的课程中采用一些实验室程序。上午用来讲课，下午用来做动手实验。第一天是关于ıFe(Cp)(CO)2！2，Fe(Cp)(CO)2I和相关化合物的台式反应化学。在剩下的四天里，参与者被分成五个小组，这些小组在一系列以技术为导向的会议中轮流选择五个会议中的四个。课程包括：核磁共振、电化学、红外光谱、分子轨道计算和X射线结晶学。本科院校的设施足以进行这些项目的许多方面。本科院校不能支持的方面，如X射线衍射，对于提高教师对必须在课堂上向学生介绍的主题的理解是有价值的。

A week-long workshop in inorganic chemistry is being held to give regional undergraduate faculty experience in some modern techniques and some exposure to the chemistry of binuclear organometallic compounds. It is expected that the experience will enhance their comprehension of these developments, and that they will adopt some of the laboratory procedures in their own curricula. The mornings are being used for the lectures with the afternoons involving hands-on experiments. The first day is being devoted to the bench top reaction chemistry of ıFe(Cp)(CO)2!2, Fe(Cp)(CO)2I, and related compounds. During the remaining four days the participants are being divided into five groups, and these groups are rotating through their choice of four out of five sessions in a sequence of technique-oriented sessions. The sessions are: NMR; Electrochemistry; IR; MO calculations; and X-ray crystallography. The facilities at undergraduate institutions are adequate to conduct many aspects of these projects. The aspects that cannot be supported by undergraduate institutions, such as X-ray diffraction, are of value in enhancing the faculty comprehension of topics that nevertheless must be presented to students in lecture.
