Incorporation of a Modern NMR Spectroscopy into the Chemistry Curriculum of a Four-Year Undergraduate Institution

化学(12)一个300兆赫的核磁共振波谱仪正被用来在本科课程和研究项目中结合广泛的现代核磁共振技术。在课程范围内，它正在促进在有机化学实验室中大幅增加动手核磁共振光谱分析的使用，在那里，学生在早期阶段被介绍给13C光谱分析，并开展两个新的指导性探究实验室和一个包括二维核磁共振光谱学的基于项目的实验室。在高级课程中，一个新的核磁共振/层析综合实验正在分析化学实验室中进行，而在物理方法课程中正在实施以松弛技术和扩散测量为特色的新的基于项目的实验。我们还在为化学专业的学生开发和教授一门新的为期两周、全天的冬季课程，名为“标准和现代核磁共振技术：螺母和螺栓实践工作坊”。最后，核磁共振光谱仪的能力正被用于支持正在进行的和新的本科研究项目，包括分子结构确定、离子液体中分子运动和相行为的表征，以及与当地行业的研究合作。

Chemistry (12) A 300 MHz NMR spectrometer is being utilized to incorporate a broad range of modern NMR techniques across the undergraduate curriculum and in research projects. Within the curriculum, it is facilitating a dramatic increase in the use of hands-on NMR spectrometry in the organic chemistry laboratory, where students are being introduced to 13C spectrometry at an early stage and conduct two new guided inquiry laboratories and a project-based laboratory that includes two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. In upper division courses, a new integrated NMR/chromatography experiment is being incorporated into the analytical chemistry laboratory while new project-based experiments featuring relaxation techniques and diffusion measurements are being implemented in the physical methods course. We are also developing and teaching a new two-week, all-day winter session course for chemistry majors entitled "Standard and modern NMR techniques: A nuts and bolts hands-on workshop". Finally, the capabilities of the NMR spectrometer are being used to support both ongoing and new undergraduate research projects including molecular structure determination, characterization of molecular motions and phase behavior in ionic liquids, and a research collaboration with a local industry.
