Incorporation of a 300MHZ NMR Spectrometer in the Undergraduate Curriculum

二年级有机化学实验课三门，三年级物理化学实验课两门，高级无机化学和化学光谱学实验课使用300 MHz核磁共振（NMR）谱仪。该工具将加强有机课程，这些课程以非传统的方式教授，强调解释技能。弛豫和相干的原理将在物理化学实验中加以说明。二维核磁共振将在高级分子光谱学课程中引入。该仪器还将用于为该地区其他学院的学生获取数据。将测试在个人计算机上执行快速ID核磁共振计算的方法。该项目由USEME部门和化学部门共同资助。

A 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer will be used in three sophomore-level organic chemistry lab courses, two junior-level physical chemistry lab courses, and senior- level laboratory courses in inorganic chemistry and chemical spectroscopy. The instrument will strengthen the organic courses, which are taught in a non-traditional way that emphasizes interpretative skills. The principles of relaxation and coherence will be illustrated in the experiments in physical chemistry. Two-dimensional NMR will be introduced in the senior level molecular spectroscopy course. This instrument will also be used to acquire data for students at other colleges in the region. Methods of performing rapid ID NMR calculations on personal computers will be tested. This project was funded jointly by the USEME Division and the Chemistry Division.
