Fourier Transform Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Laboratory

本项目的目标是升级和扩大本科 迦太基学院的红外线化学项目 分光光度法 傅里叶变换红外分光光度计将 被有机化学，物理化学， 仪器分析、无机化学和本科生研究。 调查包括：描绘各种分子的影响， 取代基对特征基团频率的影响，定量分析 混合物、结构解析和化合物鉴定， 确定振动和转动常数，并确定 FT-IR法研究嵌入剂对DNA二级结构的影响 Circle Cell配件。 在整个过程中，学生将获得经验， 计算机控制的仪器操作和计算机使用光谱 识别库。

The goal of this project is to upgrade and expand the undergraduate chemistry program at Carthage College in the area of infrared spectrophotometry. A Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer will be used by students in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, inorganic chemistry, and undergraduate research. Investigations include: delineating the effects of various molecular substituents on characteristic group frequencies, quantitative analysis of mixtures, structure elucidation and compound identification, determination of vibrational and rotational constants, and determining effects of intercalators on secondary structure of DNA using the FT-IR Circle Cell accessory. Throughout, students will gain experience in computer-controlled instrument operation and computer use of a spectral identification library.
