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

化学（12）300 MHz NMR光谱仪被用于在本科课程和研究项目中纳入广泛的现代NMR技术。 在课程范围内，它正在促进有机化学实验室中动手NMR光谱法的使用急剧增加，学生在早期阶段被引入13 C光谱法，并进行两个新的指导性调查实验室和一个基于项目的实验室，包括二维NMR光谱法。 在高年级课程中，一个新的综合NMR/色谱实验被纳入分析化学实验室，而新的基于项目的实验，具有弛豫技术和扩散测量正在实施的物理方法课程。 我们还开发和教学一个新的为期两周，全天冬季课程的化学专业题为“标准和现代核磁共振技术：螺母和螺栓动手研讨会”。 最后，NMR光谱仪的功能被用于支持正在进行的和新的本科生研究项目，包括分子结构测定，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.
