Integration of FT NMR into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

本项目将多核高场核磁共振仪纳入本科化学课程。核磁共振仪器被用于有机、无机、聚合物、生物化学和量子化学课程，以及学生的研究。此外，正在开发一门新的课程来教授核磁共振波谱学的理论和实践。这些课程中的实验旨在提高学生对质子、碳和磷核磁共振光谱的理解，并提供分析这些数据以阐明结构的经验。此外，核磁共振被用作动力学、力学和量子力学研究的工具。在这个项目的3年期间，估计有400名化学学生可以获得技能，这将更好地为他们表征反应产物和研究学术界或工业界正在研究的重要反应做好准备。

This project incorporates a multinuclear high-field NMR instrument into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. An NMR instrument is being used in the organic, inorganic, polymer, biochemistry, and quantum chemistry courses, as well as in student research. In addition, a new course is being developed to teach the theory and practice of NMR spectroscopy. Experiments in these courses have been designed to enhance student understanding of proton, carbon, and phosphorus NMR spectra and to provide experience in analyzing these data in the elucidation of structure. Furthermore, NMR is being used as a tool in kinetic, mechanistic, and quantum mechanical studies. In the 3-year period of this project, an estimated 400 chemistry students can gain skills that will better prepare them to characterize reaction products and study important reactions being investigated in academia or industry.
