Incorporating Fourier Transform Proton & Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Throughout the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

该学院将购买一台200 MHz的FT-核磁共振光谱仪，以增强学生的实验室体验。它将把13C核磁共振、变温和时间分辨研究引入实验室计划。光谱仪将被整合到课程中，以便学生的每一次体验都建立在已经获得的知识和专业知识的基础上。核磁共振光谱学将在二年级引入，并整合到高年级课程中。在每门课程中，学生将独立操作该仪器，不仅用于化合物的鉴定和结构表征，还用于获得平衡和速率常数、扩散系数等化学参数。它还将提供宝贵的计算机控制数据采集系统的实践经验。将提供一门高级理论课程，包括光谱仪的工作，以及涉及FT-核磁共振的独立研究项目。物理系将把分光计纳入他们的现代物理实验室课程。

The college will purchase a 200 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer to enhance the student laboratory experience. It will introduce 13C NMR, variable temperature, and time-resolved studies into the laboratory program. The spectrometer will be integrated into the curriculum so that every student experience builds upon knowledge and expertise already gained. NMR spectroscopy will be introduced in the sophomore year and integrated into the upper division curriculum. In each course, the students will independently operate the instrument, using it not only for identification and structural characterization of compounds but also to obtain chemical parameters such as equilibrium and rate constants, diffusion coefficients, etc. It will also provide valuable hands-on experience with a computer- controlled data acquisition system. An advanced theory course including work with the spectrometer, and independent research projects involving FT-NMR, will be offered. The Physics department will incorporate the spectrometer into their modern physics laboratory course.
