Integration of High Field Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学系正在购置一台高场傅里叶变换核磁共振波谱仪，从低级到高级，以综合的方式进行本科教学。涉及专业和非专业的八门讲座/实验室课程正在受到这项技术的影响。基本的13C和1H一维和二维(COSY，HETCOR，不充分)核磁共振技术被介绍在二年级的有机化学课程中，使用已知的天然产物，学生在有机定性分析中继续进行未知数的结构解释。大三的物理化学课程测量了平衡常数和反应速率。在高年级，学生在分子结构和反应性课程中学习感应衰变，在高级无机化学课程中和参与高级无机化学研究项目时学习多核核磁共振光谱学。无机化学侧重于主族和过渡金属化合物的分子结构测定、分子重排和电子结构，而有机化学的项目既涉及有机化合物的分子重排动力学，也涉及复杂生物活性天然产物的结构解析。

The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a high field fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer for undergraduate instruction in an integrated manner from the lower division through the senior course level. Eight lecture/laboratory courses involving majors and non-majors are being affected by the technology. Basic 13C and 1H one- dimensional and two-dimensional (COSY, HETCOR, INADEQUATE) NMR techniques are introduced in the sophomore Organic Chemistry course using known natural products and the students progress to structure elucidation of unknowns in Organic Qualitative Analysis. Equilibrium constants and reaction rates are being measured in Physical Chemistry during the junior year. At the senior level students study induction decay in the Molecular Structure and Reactivity course and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in both the Advanced Inorganic Chemistry course and during participation in Senior Inorganic Chemistry Research Projects. Inorganic Chemistry focusses on molecular structure determination of main group and transition metal compounds, molecular rearrangements, and electronic structure, while projects in Organic Chemistry involve both the kinetics of molecular rearrangements of organic compounds and the structural elucidation of complex bioactive natural products.
