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

化学（12）在本科课程和研究项目中，一个300兆赫的核磁共振波谱仪被用于整合广泛的现代核磁共振技术。在课程中，它促进了在有机化学实验室中动手使用核磁共振光谱的急剧增加，学生们在早期阶段被介绍到13C光谱，并进行两个新的指导性探究实验室和一个基于项目的实验室，包括二维核磁共振光谱。在高年级课程中，新的核磁共振/色谱综合实验被纳入分析化学实验室，而新的基于项目的实验以松弛技术和扩散测量为特色，正在物理方法课程中实施。我们也正在为化学专业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：螺母和螺栓实践研讨会”。最后，核磁共振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，以及与当地工业的研究合作。

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.
