Integration of FT-NMR into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学系正在购买一台现代高场核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱仪，使其学生能够学习现代结构测定技术。该仪器被用于所有级别的课程，并引导学生对核磁共振技术解开化学秘密的力量有更复杂的理解。从有机化学开始，学生学习解释1H和13C光谱中的耦合模式和化学位移，以识别分子结构。在下一层次，在仪器方法中，傅立叶变换和定量测量的介绍为更好地理解FT-核磁共振提供了理论基础。在高级课程中，学生可以获得丰富的多核高场核磁共振技术的经验。例如，生物化学专业的学生学习酶反应的立体化学，观察蛋白质结构的结构变化，在物理化学中，他们确定交换反应的动力学，研究平衡反应的热力学。FT-核磁共振光谱仪的出现加强了本科生的研究计划，并用于无机合成中制备的产品的常规分析。

The chemistry department is purchasing a modem high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer to enable its students to learn modern techniques in structure determination. The instrument is being used at all levels of the curriculum and leads students to a more sophisticated understanding of the power of NMR techniques to unlock chemical secrets. Beginning with organic chemistry, students learn to interpret coupling patterns and chemical shifts in 1H and 13C spectra to identify molecular structure. At the next level, in Instrumental Methods, the introduction to Fourier transform and quantitative measurements provides a theoretical basis for better understanding FT-NMR. In upper-level courseq students gain experience in a rich array of techniques available to a multinuclear high-field NMR. For instance, biochemistry students study the stereochemistry of an enzymatic reaction and observe structural variations in protein structures, and in physical chemistry they determine the kinetics of an exchange reaction and study the thermodynamics of an equilibrium reaction. The presence of the FT-NMR spectrometer enhances the undergraduate research program and is used for routine analysis of products prepared in inorganic synthesis.
