Undergraduate Curriculum Development by the Use of FT-NMR Spectroscopy

获得一台多核、变温傅里叶变换核磁共振光谱仪对于该研究所和圣文森特山学院联合的化学系来说是必不可少的。该仪器架起了本科生培养和研究生研究之间的桥梁，开创了化学教学的新纪元。强调使用COSY、HETCOR和2D脉冲技术的~(13)C-核磁共振是现代核磁共振波谱的组成部分。FT-核磁共振使学生能够使用更少的化学物质，补充了以前在有机实验室采用的半微量程序。记录和解释光谱数据等技能与在高级物理化学、分析化学和仪器化学中学习的概念相辅相成。研究是本科课程中不可或缺的一部分；高场FT-核磁共振对于现代化学研究是必不可少的。购买这样一台仪器是为了支持最近建立的核医学技术计划。该机构为该项目提供的资金超过了NSF基金的7000美元。

The acquisition of a multi-nuclei, variable temperature Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer has been essential for the joined Departments of Chemistry at the institution and the College of Mount St. Vincent. The instrument bridges the gap between undergraduate training and graduate research and inaugurated a new era in the teaching of chemistry to the students. Emphasis on (13)C-NMR, using COSY, HETCOR and 2D pulse techniques is an integral part of modern NMR spectroscopy. FT-NMR enables students to use smaller amounts of chemicals, complementing semimicroscale procedures previously adopted in the organic laboratory. Skills such as recording and interpreting spectral data are complemented by the concepts learned in advanced physical, analytical and instrumental chemistry. Research is an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum; a high field FT-NMR is essential for modern research in chemistry. The acquisition of such an instrument is supporting the recently instituted program in nuclear medicine technology. The institution is contributing to the project in an amount in excess of $7,000 over the NSF funds.
