Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer for Undergraduate Chemistry Education and Research

化学系正在购置一台300-MHz傅里叶变换核磁共振波谱仪，能够在本科生环境中快速测定1H和13C核磁共振谱。该仪器允许探索大多数新的核磁共振技术，如APT、DEPT、COSY、NOE和HETCOR，这些技术现在用于确定分子参数。变温模块的出现使人们能够研究分子的动态性质。该设备在有机、无机、物理和生物化学的七门本科课程中得到广泛使用，并在学年和夏季期间在教师监督的本科研究项目中得到广泛使用，以实现本科课程序列的显著改善和发展。此外，地区高中的教职员工正在获得使用这种乐器的实践经验，相邻两所大学的教职员工和学生也在使用这种乐器。

The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a 300-MHz Fourier- transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer capable of rapid determination of 1H and 13C NMR spectra in an undergraduate setting. This instrument is allowing the exploration of most of the new NMR techniques, such as APT, DEPT, COSY, NOE and HETCOR, now used to determine molecular parameters. The availability of a variable temperature module is allowing dynamic properties of molecules to be studied. The equipment is being used extensively in seven undergraduate courses in organic, inorganic, physical, and biochemistry and in faculty-supervised undergraduate research projects during the academic year and summer to achieve significant improvement and development of the undergraduate course sequence. In addition, faculty at area high schools are gaining hands-on experience on the instrument, and faculty and students at two neighboring colleges are using the instrument.
