Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

确定分子的动力学和结构是化学的核心。核磁共振波谱在这一过程中起着核心作用。核磁共振是学生在第一门有机化学课程中引入并应用于实验室的，核磁共振在仪器分析课程中占据了更高的水平，在物理化学和本科研究中又占据了更高的水平。这种傅立叶变换核磁共振用于分析在开始的微尺度有机实验室中产生的微量物质，以及利用二维技术对新合成的分子进行结构分析。这种现代的、快速的、灵敏的核磁共振已经显著地扩展了霍利奥克山学院大部分实验室课程的范围和复杂性。该机构正以等额的资金配合国家科学基金的拨款。

The determination of the dynamics and structure of molecules lies at the heart of chemistry. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy plays a central role in that process. NMR is introduced and used in the laboratory by students in their first organic chemistry course, NMR occupies a more advanced level in the instrumental analysis course and again at a still more advanced level in physical chemistry and undergraduate research. This Fourier transform NMR is used for analysis of tiny quantities of material produced in the beginning microscale organic laboratory as well as the structure analysis of newly synthesized molecules utilizing 2D techniques. This modern, fast, sensitive NMR has expanded significantly the scope and sophistication of a large part of the Mount Holyoke College laboratory curriculum. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
