An FT-NMR Spectrometer for Undergraduate Laboratory Instruction

该项目通过使用学生级傅里叶变换核磁共振(FT-核磁共振)光谱仪获取质子和碳13谱来提高本科生教学质量。200 MHz仪器以合理的成本提供出色的灵敏度和分辨率。它被用在整个化学课程的实验室课程中，包括有机、无机、分析、物理和生物化学课程，以及本科生的研究项目。学生在制备样品、获取光谱、确定结构、测量耦合常数和松弛时间以及使用仪器进行其他化学分析方面都有实践经验。因此，学生可以全面了解核磁共振在解决广泛的化学问题方面的能力和局限性。这段经历为他们成为专业化学家和问题解决者做好了更好的准备，无论他们是一毕业就进入劳动力大军，还是继续在研究生院接受正规教育。*

This project is enhancing the quality of undergraduate instruction through the use of a student-grade Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) spectrometer for the acquisition of proton and carbon-13 spectra. The 200 MHZ instrument provides excellent sensitivity and resolution at a reasonable cost. It is being used in laboratory courses throughout the chemistry curriculum including organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and biochemical courses as well as in undergraduate research projects. Students have hands-on experience in preparing samples, obtaining spectra, determining structure, measuring coupling constants and relaxation times, and using the instrument for other chemical analyses. Thus students gain a thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of NMR for solving a broad range of chemical problems. This experience better prepares them as professional chemists and problem solvers, whether they enter the workforce immediately upon graduation or continue their formal education in graduate school. *
