Integration of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy into the Undergraduate Chemistry Program

本提案将傅立叶变换红外光谱引入课程相关实验室及学生研究计划。为了实现这一目标，将购买一台马特森GL-5022 FTIR。该仪器将配置一个MCT探测器，以便进行动力学研究，并将提供6000cm-1至400cm-1的光谱范围，分辨率为0.75cm-1。该仪器将包括漫反射和光声测量能力。它将用于在物理、高级无机、生物物理和高级有机课程序列中指导FTIR的原理和应用。

This proposal will introduce fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in course-related laboratories and in the required student research program. To accomplish this goal, a Mattson GL-5022 FTIR will be purchased. The instrument will be configured with an MCT detector to allow kinetic studies to be performed, and will provide a spectral range of 6000cm-1 to 400cm-1 with a resolution of 0.75cm-1. The instrument will include capabilities in diffuse reflectance and photoacoustic measurements. It will be used for instruction in principles and applications of FTIR in the physical, advanced inorganic, biophysical, and advanced organic course sequences.
