This project is arranging the purchase of a 300-MHz multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This instrument is being used to upgrade the educational program in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and spectroscopy. Specific experiments and activities can be performed by the students to increase their knowledge in these fields, as well as to give them experience with modern NMR techniques. This instrument is also being heavily used in our strong undergraduate research program. Five faculty have needs that require a higher-field multinuclear NMR that cannot be met by the current instrument, so instead they are forced to send samples out to former colleagues and current collaborators. This slows down the pace of research for the students and the faculty and does not enable undergraduate student co-workers to gain experience with the type of instrument they will use in industry or in graduate school. One of the educational results of this instrument may be the development of new experiments to be published in journals such as the Journal of Chemical Education and presented at professional meetings of the American Chemical Society and the Missouri Academy of Science. The instrument can also be demonstrated to high school students and teachers and made available to them for advanced projects, if needed.

该项目正在安排购买一台300兆赫多核核磁共振光谱仪。该仪器被用于有机化学、分析化学、生物化学和光谱学的教学计划升级。学生可以进行具体的实验和活动，以增加他们在这些领域的知识，并为他们提供现代NMR技术的经验。这种仪器也被大量使用在我们强大的本科研究计划。五名教师需要更高场的多核NMR，而目前的仪器无法满足这些需求，因此他们被迫将样本发送给以前的同事和现在的合作者。这减慢了学生和教师的研究速度，并且不能使本科生同事获得他们将在工业或研究生院使用的仪器类型的经验。 这种仪器的教育成果之一可能是开发新的实验，这些实验将发表在《化学教育杂志》等期刊上，并在美国化学学会和密苏里州科学院的专业会议上发表。该仪器还可以向高中学生和教师演示，并在需要时提供给他们用于高级项目。
