NMR Instrumentation for Undergraduate Curriculum Enhancement

小行星9350909 该项目将购买傅立叶变换核磁共振仪，用于七门水平不断提高的课程，每年影响300多名学生，以及从事本科研究的学生。 1H和13C NMR能力将用于确认合成产物的结构，识别未知物，将经验计算与实际化学位移相关联以识别未知化合物，检查化学位移的温度依赖性，探索脉冲宽度，速率和数量对收集的光谱的影响，确定热力学量，并研究酶活性。该项目将加强目前的努力，鼓励少数民族和妇女，谁构成了学生人口的重要组成部分，以及在国家人口，追求科学教育。 还将向当地高中推出一项推广计划。 此外，五个地区历史上的黑人学院的学生和教师将有机会使用该仪器。这个项目应该对选择学习化学的妇女和黑人人数产生非常积极的影响。 ***

9350909 Elakovich The project will purchase a Fourier Transform NMR for use in seven courses of increasing level impacting over 300 students per year in addition to those students pursuing undergraduate research. The 1H and 13C nmr capabilities will be used to confirm the structure of synthesis products, identify unknowns, correlate empirical calculations with actual chemical shifts to identify unknown compounds, examine the temperature dependence of chemical shifts, explore the effects of pulse width, rate, and number on the collected spectrum, determine thermodynamic quantities, and study enzyme activity. The project will augment current efforts to encourage minorities and women, who make up a significant portion of the student population as well as the population in the state, to pursue science education. An outreach program to local high schools will also be introduced. In addition, students and faculty of five area historically Black colleges will have access to the instrument. This project should have a very positive effect on the number of women and Blacks who choose to study chemistry. ***
