Integration of Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance into the Chemistry Curriculum

利用核磁共振波谱学研究分子结构， 动态现在是一个有效的 本科化学课程。 的化学系 康涅狄格学院购买了一台250兆赫的FT-NMR， 贯穿整个课程。 新生一级的学生是 在普通化学中引入FT-NMR，希望这 介绍这项令人兴奋的技术将刺激 学生继续学习科学。 特定应用 利用FT-NMR的全部功能， 有机化学，光谱学方法，仪器 方法，生物化学，物理化学，和新课程 无机化合物的合成和表征。 这些 应用增强了对理论概念的理解 已经被引入课堂。 此外，本科生 参与教师指导的研究是强大的， 扩张 FT-NMR的可用性增强了 学生们成功地完成了项目。 该机构 将国家科学基金会的拨款与同等数额的资金相匹配。

The use of NMR spectroscopy to study molecular structure and dynamics is now an essential element of an effective undergraduate chemistry program. The Chemistry Department at Connecticut College purchased a 250Mhz FT-NMR which is integrated throughout the curriculum. Students at the freshman level are introduced to FT-NMR in general chemistry with the hope that this introduction to this exciting technology will stimulate the students to continue to study sciences. Specific applications exploiting the full capabilities of the FT-NMR are incorporated into organic chemistry, spectroscopic methods, instrumental methods, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and the new course on synthesis and characterization of inorganic compounds. These applications enhance the understanding of theoretical concepts already introduced into the classroom. Also, undergraduate participation in faculty directed research is strong and expanding. The availability of FT-NMR enhances the ability of the students to carry out successful projects. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
