Fourier Transform Raman Spectrometer for Undergraduate Instruction in Chemistry

化学系正在购买傅里叶变换 拉曼光谱仪用于多个高级课程， 本科研究。 在进行的实验中， 比较了拉曼光谱和红外光谱 对于对称和不对称卤代烃， 研究了各种过渡金属羰基化合物，及其作用 在功能和结构中的单个氨基酸 proteins. 正在开发一种新的聚合物课程， 这是拉曼光谱可用性的优点。 的 本科生研究计划也受益于新的 仪器仪表

The Department of Chemistry is purchasing a Fourier transform raman spectrometer for use several upper level courses and in undergraduate research. Among the experiments being performed by upperclassmen are comparision of Raman and infrared spectra for symmetrical and unsymmetrical halogenated hydrocarbons, study of a variety of transition metal carbonyls, and the role of individual amino acids in the function and structure of proteins. A new polymer course is being developed to take advantage of the availability of Raman spectroscopy. The undergraduate research program is also benefiting from the new instrumentation.
