Integration of High Field NMR Spectroscopy and Molecular Modeling into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The Department of Chemistry is committed to introducing modern instrumentation early and extensively throughout our curriculum, with an emphasis on a hands-on approach for our undergraduate students. A 200 MHz NMR spectrometer and some computational software for molecular modeling are being used in complementary pedagogy, as well as in separate applications. These acquisitions are having a major impact upon modernization of our microscale organic chemistry laboratory, as well as many of our undergraduate research projects. We also are introducing experiments involving NMR into laboratories in physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and biochemistry.
