NMR Instrumentation for Undergraduate Curriculum Enhancement

9350909 Elakovich该项目将购买傅里叶变换核磁共振，用于7门水平不断提高的课程，每年影响300多名学生，此外还有那些正在攻读本科研究的学生。1H和13C核磁共振能力将用于确认合成产物的结构，识别未知数，将经验计算与实际化学位移相关联以识别未知化合物，研究化学位移的温度依赖性，探索脉冲宽度、速率和数目对收集光谱的影响，确定热力学数量，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--他们在该州学生人口和人口中占很大比例--接受科学教育。还将推出一项针对当地高中的外展计划。此外，五所历史悠久的黑人大学的学生和教职员工将可以使用这种乐器。这个项目应该会对选择学习化学的女性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. ***
