Enhanced Laboratory Capabilities with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Computer Interfacing

圣母学院本科生的化学教育 俄亥俄州的实验室经验将得到加强， 傅里叶变换红外分光光度计。 该工具将 让学生在有机化学跟随反应的进展， 鉴定反应产物;在光谱法中，分析"真实的- 世界"混合物;在物理化学中，定义分子结构 和热力学性质;在高级无机化学，以 观察金属-配体相互作用和键合。 使用计算机与其他实验室仪器接口， 学生将开发计算机控制的仪器设备 以及计算机化的数据采集和分析。 特别是学生 在电子仪器和分析方法课程将学习 将现代计算机技术应用于化学实验室。 这所女子学院特别努力鼓励和提高 女大学生的化学教育，包括少数民族和 残疾学生。 通过这个项目，学院将继续 它对女科学家教育的贡献。 其化学性质 学生将发展使用现代实验室的专业知识 仪器和计算机来解决化学问题，并将 捕捉现代化学的兴奋和愿景。

The chemistry education of undergraduate students at Notre Dame College of Ohio will be enhanced by laboratory experience with a state-of-the- art Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. This instrument will allow students in Organic Chemistry to follow reaction progress and identify reaction products; in Spectrometric Methods, to analyze "real- world" mixtures; in Physical Chemistry, to define molecular structure and thermodynamic properties; in Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, to observe metal-ligand interaction and bonding. Using a computer to interface with other laboratory instrumentation, the students will develop facility with computer control of instrumentation and computerized data acquisition and analysis. In particular, students in Electronic Instrumentation and Analytical Methods courses will learn to apply modern computer technology to the chemistry laboratory. This women's college makes special efforts to encourage and enhance the chemistry education of women undergraduates, including minorities and handicapped students. Through this project, the college will continue its contribution to the education of women scientists. Its chemistry students will develop expertise in using modern laboratory instrumentation and computers to solve chemical problems, and will capture the excitement and vision of modern chemistry.
