Fourier Transform IR for the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

FTIR将被纳入普通化学、有机和高级有机化学、物理化学、无机化学和独立研究（定向研究）。该仪器将用于普通化学，分析洛杉矶烟雾中的气体。在有机和高级有机化学实验室中，该仪器将用于表征来自各种实验的产品，包括多步合成序列。在物理化学中，仪器将测量HCl的基本吸收带，而无机实验室将研究各种羰基化合物上的CO拉伸带。该仪器也将在我们大量注册的本科生研究课程（独立学习）中得到大量使用。受资助者将匹配来自非联邦来源的NSF奖励。

FTIR will be incorporated into general chemistry, organic and advanced organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and independent study (directed research). The instrument will be used in general chemistry to analyze gases in Los Angeles smog. In the organic and advanced organic chemistry laboratories, the instrument will be used to characterize products from various experiments, including multistep synthetic sequences. In physical chemistry the instrument will measure the fundamental absorption bands of HCl while the inorganic laboratory will study CO stretching bands on various carbonyl compounds. The instrument will also see considerable use in our heavily enrolled undergraduate research courses (independent study). The grantee will match tne NSF award from non-Federal sources.
