Integration of High Field Multinuclear NMR into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

9452264施莱纳傅里叶变换核磁共振波谱已被确定为所有有机和有机金属化合物的鉴定和结构指认的最重要的技术。它还可用于生化大分子的结构测定，并可用于分子动力学研究。这个项目的目标是通过在整个化学课程中逐步增加复杂程度的核磁共振来教育化学和其他科学专业的学生这种强大的技术的理论和操作。学生在从化学入门到本科生研究项目的各种课程中都会使用这种仪器。从基础的L-D核磁共振开始，学生们将深入到多核和二维方法。这有效地确保了我们的学生在现代核磁共振技术方面的适当培训，这些学生将继续进入工业岗位或优秀的研究生院。除了参与该项目的伦道夫-梅肯学院的学生和教职员工外，附近的一所社区大学(J.Sargeant Reynolds)和当地的数学和科学中心也在使用这种设备。

9452264 Schreiner Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) spectroscopy has been established as the most important technique in the identification and structural assignment of all organic and organometallic compounds. It also lends itself to structure determination of biochemical macromolecules, and can be used to study molecular dynamics. The objective of this project is to educate chemistry and other science majors in the theory and operation of this powerful technique by introducing them to NMR at a gradually increasing level of sophistication throughout the entire chemistry curriculum. Student use of the instrument occurs in course ranging from introductory chemistry to undergraduate research projects. Starting with basic l-D 1H NMR, students advance to multinuclear and 2-D methods. This effectively ensures proper training in modern NMR techniques for our students who go on to industrial positions or excellent graduate schools. In addition to the students and faculty of Randolph-Macon College involved in this project, one nearby Community College (J. Sargeant Reynolds) and the local Mathematics and Science Center are using this equipment.
