Introducing NMR Spectroscopy into the Chemistry Curriculum

化学（12）使用Anasazi公司开发的技术，我们将瓦里安60 MHz连续波核磁共振光谱仪升级为具有二维功能的高效多核ft -核磁共振光谱仪，我们将现代核磁共振技术纳入佛罗里达理工学院的化学实验室课程。我们将常规的质子和碳-13分析引入低年级实验室，以加强讲座中教授的鉴定技术。更复杂的实验，如二维和多核分析，反应的动力学和平衡研究，应用于核磁共振分析的量子力学，以及动态核磁共振光谱学，正在适应上层实验室。大部分实验取自化学教育文献，如J. Chem。建造。我们预期实验与课程的逐步整合将继续下去。我们也在正在进行的本科生研究项目中使用该仪器。学生使用升级后的FT-NMR仪器独立运行样品，没有任何操作困难，硬件/软件操作足够耐用和可靠，在学生使用期间只需要适度的监督。我们正在让佛罗里达理工学院的科学教育部门参与该项目的评估，并计划在地区和国家专业会议上展示该项目的结果。此外，我们将提交文章描述任何新的核磁共振实验和/或由此产生的课程改进到化学杂志。建造。或网络版的《化学教育家》出版。

Chemistry (12)With the upgrade of our Varian continuous wave 60 MHz NMR spectrometer to an efficient multinuclear FT-NMR spectrometer equipped with 2-D capabilities using technology developed by Anasazi Inc., we are incorporating modern NMR techniques across our chemistry laboratory curriculum at Florida Institute of Technology. We introduce routine Proton and Carbon-13 analyses into lower division labs, reinforcing identification techniques taught in the lecture. More sophisticated experiments such as 2D and multinuclear analyses, kinetics and equilibrium studies of reactions, Quantum Mechanics applied to NMR analysis, and Dynamic NMR Spectroscopy are being adapted into upper division labs. Most of the experiments are taken form the chemical education literature such as the J. Chem. Educ. We anticipate the progressive integration of the experiments into our curriculum to continue. We are also using this instrument in ongoing undergraduate research projects. Students independently run samples using the upgraded FT-NMR instrument without any operational difficulties and the hardware/software operation is durable and reliable enough that requires only moderate supervision during student usage. We are involving the Science Education Department at Florida Tech in the evaluation of the project and plan to present the results of this project at regional and national professional meetings. In addition, we will submit articles describing any new NMR experiment and/or resulting curriculum improvement to the Journal of Chem. Educ. or the web-based The Chemical Educator for publication.
