Incorporation of NMR Techniques into the Chemistry Curriculum from Freshman to Senior Level Classes

小行星9451451 该项目将购买（1）Varian UNITY plus 300 MHz NMR光谱仪的自动进样器，（2）10台Macintosh计算机和（3）软件。此次设备采购的目的是让大量的学生，从大一到大四，接触NMR仪器和仪器技术的能力。拟议的计划将逐步让学生接触到越来越复杂的NMR概念和技术超过四个学年。在大一的实验室课程中，学生（每年400名）将被介绍给NMR光谱的定性和定量应用。 在大二水平的有机实验室课程，学生（每年约175）将采用质子核磁共振光谱进行常规结构分析。初级高级有机实验室课程将向学生（每年约20名）介绍碳-13，2维和更先进的NMR技术的使用。最后，高级无机实验室课程将向学生介绍更先进的NMR理论和四极核的NMR光谱，以及建立在学生以前的二维NMR技术的经验。简而言之，Varian UNlTYplus光谱仪在连接到Macintosh计算机并配备自动进样器后，将成为旨在系统地教育科学和工程专业学生NMR光谱学概念和应用的计划的仪器基石。

9451451 Getman The project will purchase (1) an automated sample changer for a Varian UNITY plus 300 MHz NMR spectrometer, (2) ten Macintosh computers, and (3) software. The purpose of this equipment acquisition is to expose a large number of students, from freshman through senior levels, to NMR instrumentation and the capabilities of the instrumental technique. The proposed program will expose students in a stepwise fashion to increasingly more complex NMR concepts and techniques over four academic years. In the freshman laboratory course, students (400 annually) will be introduced to the qualitative and quantitative application of NMR spectroscopy. During the sophomore level organic laboratory course, students (approximately 175 annually) will employ proton NMR spectroscopy for routine structural analysis. The junior level advanced organic laboratory course will introduce students ( approximately 20 annually) to the use of carbon- 13, 2-dimensional and more advanced NMR techniques. Finally, the senior level inorganic laboratory course will introduce students to more advanced NMR theory and NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei, as well as build upon the students' previous experience with 2-dimensional NMR techniques. In short, the Varian UNlTYplus spectrometer, when connected to the Macintosh computers and equipped with an automated sample changer, will serve as the instrumental cornerstone for a program designed to systematically educate science and engineering students in the concepts and applications of NMR spectroscopy.
