Enhancement of Undergraduate Education Using a High Field NMR Spectrometer

该项目将购买一台高场傅立叶变换核磁共振光谱仪（FT NMR），以改善低年级和高年级化学和生物化学实验室课程。它也将用于高级选修课，如聚合物合成和有机制备。FT核磁共振光谱仪将在本科生学术生涯的早期阶段，向他们介绍第一个也是最复杂的现代技术——计算机驱动的化学仪器。在二年级的有机化学实验课程中，学生将获得核磁共振波谱法结构测定的实用介绍，然后继续在无机化学和磷化学中的应用。它还将允许学生使用多脉冲序列和二维核磁共振技术来确定复杂分子的结构。＊＊＊

Hammond 9351588 The project will purchase a high field Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (FT NMR) to improve lower and upper division chemistry and biochemistry laboratory courses. It will also be used in advanced electives such as Polymer Synthesis and Organic Preparations. The FT NMR spectrometer will introduce to undergraduates the first and most sophisticated example of current technology computer-driven chemical instrumentation at an early stage in their academic careers. Students will receive a practical introduction to structure determination by NMR spectroscopy during the sophomore organic chemistry laboratory course, then continue with applications in inorganic and P-chem. It will also allow students to determine structures of complex molecules using multi- pulse sequence and 2D-NMR techniques. ***
