NMR Spectroscopy in Undergraduate Laboratories

购买一台300兆赫核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪将为本科课程第2、3、4年的实验课程发展提供基础。随着最近的实验室改造和向微尺度实验的转变，新的实验将被引入大二的有机实验室，这需要高场仪器的灵敏度和分辨率。在定性有机分析的高级有机课程中，将介绍一个涉及复杂分子早期光谱分配的二维检查的研究组成部分。在高级有机金属学实验课程中，新的实验将利用多核核磁共振来表征过渡金属配合物，并阐明用现有设备无法演示的重要概念。在物理化学实验室中，将介绍涉及气相动力学和弛豫现象的实验。该仪器还将用于一个新组织的本科生研究项目。

Purchase of a 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer will provide the basis for laboratory curriculum development in years 2, 3, and 4 of the undergraduate program. Following recent laboratory renovation and conversion to microscale experiments, new experiments will be introduced into the sophomore organic laboratories which require the sensitivity and resolution of this high field instrument. In the senior organic course in qualitative organic analysis, a research component involving 2-D examination of earlier spectral assignments for complex molecules will be introduced. In the senior organometallics laboratory course, new experiments will utilize multinuclear NMR to characterize transition metal complexes and illustrate important concepts not possible to demonstrate with presently available equipment. In physical chemistry laboratory, experiments involving gas phase kinetics as well as relaxation phenomena will be introduced. The instrument will also be used in a newly organized undergraduate research program.
