High Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Undergraduates

通过这一项目，该研究所获得了一台高场傅里叶变换核磁共振波谱仪，能够快速测定(1)H和(13)C核磁共振谱。该仪器还允许使用大多数最新的技术，如COSY，NOESY和HETCOR来确定结构。该设备用于生物化学、有机化学、无机化学和物理化学等七门本科课程。它被用于本科生的研究，以及一门新的聚合物化学实验室课程。大二、大三和大四学生学习各种化合物的结构和立体化学特征，包括对生物化学感兴趣的材料。核磁共振光谱仪提供了双重好处，显著改善了课程设置和更新了仪器储备。该机构对该项目的贡献比NSF奖高出15,000美元。

Through this project, the institution acquired a high field Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer capable of rapid determination of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra. The instrument also permits use of most of the newest techniques such as COSY, NOESY and HETCOR for the determination of structure. The equipment is used in seven undergraduate courses covering biochemistry, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. It is utilized for undergraduate research, and for a new laboratory course in polymer chemistry. Sophomores, juniors and seniors study the structure and stereochemical features of a variety of compounds including materials of biochemical interest. The NMR spectrometer provided a dual benefit by significantly improving course offerings and updating instrument holdings. The institution contributed to the project in an amount $15,000 over the NSF award.
