The Department of Chemistry will purchase a Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) spectrometer for use in undergraduate education. A Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance facility will be established for use in undergraduate instrumental analysis courses and by research students enrolled in the four colleges in the City of Memphis. The center will be located at Memphis State University, which will provide the matching funds and provide for maintenance of the facility (and will, therefore, retain title to the facility and arrange a schedule for its use). However the center will also provide for the instructional and research needs at three smaller colleges: LeMoyne Owen College, Christian Brothers College and Rhodes College. The integration of C-13 FT NMR (along with the possibility of running coupled, decoupled, off-resonance decoupled, 2-D experiments, etc.) into the undergraduate curriculum will fill a glaring need in molecular spectroscopy in all of the Memphis area institutions and also provide for routine spectral characterization of compounds generated in undergraduate research projects. The inclusion of LeMoyne-Owen College, a historically Black liberal arts college, in the project, as well as the sizable percentage of minorities at the other institutions, ensures that the facility will provide for enhanced educational opportunities for minority students.

化学系将购置一台傅立叶变换核磁共振（FT-NMR）光谱仪用于本科教学。将建立傅里叶变换核磁共振设备，用于孟菲斯市四所学院的本科生仪器分析课程和研究生。该中心将设在孟菲斯州立大学，该大学将提供相应的资金并提供设施的维护（因此，将保留该设施的所有权并安排其使用时间表）。然而，该中心还将为三所较小的学院提供教学和研究需求：LeMoyne Owen学院、Christian Brothers学院和Rhodes学院。将C-13 FT NMR（以及耦合、解耦、非共振解耦、二维实验等的可能性）整合到本科课程中，将填补孟菲斯地区所有机构对分子光谱学的明显需求，并为本科生研究项目中产生的化合物提供常规光谱表征。LeMoyne-Owen学院是一所历史悠久的黑人文理学院，该项目将其纳入其中，其他院校的少数族裔学生也占相当大的比例，这确保了该设施将为少数族裔学生提供更多的教育机会。
