An NMR Spectrometer for the Improvement of the Chemistry Laboratory Curriculum

化学系正在购买60 MHz NMR 有机化学实验室用光谱仪 课程，并在各种高年级实验室课程。 在大二的有机化学中，学生使用仪器， 分析各种化学合成产物。 在 初中有机课程，核磁共振是用来证明芳香 环电流作为锡原蛋白合成的一部分 配合物 该仪器还用于与 高级仪器分析课程，无机和 生物化学实验室和高级研究计划。 该仪器的傅立叶变换能力为 这一点对该部特别重要，因为它提供了 在FT-NMR技术方面具有宝贵经验的学生 光谱，以及有机会证明 数学在科学中的跨学科重要性。

The Chemistry Department is purchasing a 60 MHz NMR Spectrometer for use in the organic chemistry laboratory course, and in a variety of upper-division laboratory courses. In sophomore organic chemistry, students use the instrument to analyze a variety of products of chemical synthesis. In the junior organic course, the NMR is used to demonstrate aromatic ring currents as part of a synthesis of tin-prophorin complexes. The instrument is also used in connection with the senior level instrumental analysis course, the inorganic and biochemistry laboratories, and the senior research program. The fourier transform capability of the instrument is of particular importance to the Department since it provides students with valuable experience in the techniques of FT-NMR spectroscopy, as well as the opportunity to demonstrate the interdisciplinary importance of mathematics in the sciences.
