Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Curriculum

这个项目将把电子自旋共振(ESR)光谱学引入南阿拉巴马大学的本科生化学课程。ESR是一种光谱工具，用于从化学合成到分子磁性研究的许多不同化学领域的研究。该仪器将在实验室课程的三个阶段使用。在物理化学中，将以有机基为例研究ESR可获得的信息类型。在仪器分析中，将研究光谱仪的特性。ESR系统还将用于演示计算机接口技术，因为该仪器可以由计算机驱动，其结果可以由计算机记录和分析。此外，该仪器将用于本科生的化学研究项目，涉及各种配体对过渡金属络合物磁性的影响。

This project will introduce electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at the University of South Alabama. ESR is a spectroscopic tool used for research in many different areas of chemistry, ranging from chemical synthesis to the study of magnetic properties of molecules. The instrument will be used in three phases of the laboratory curriculum. In physical chemistry, the type of information obtainable by ESR will be studied using organic radicals as examples. In instrumental analysis, the characteristics of the spectrometer will be studied. The ESR system will also be used to demonstrate the technique of computer interfacing, since the instrument can be driven by computer and the resulting output can be recorded and analyzed by computer. Additionally, the instrument will be used in undergraduate chemistry research projects involving the effects of various ligands on the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes.
