Introduction of NMR into Organic Chemistry Laboratories

有了这笔NSF-ILI赠款和当地比赛提供的资金，辛克莱 社区学院大大扩大了其本科有机 化学课程通过购买瓦里安EM 360，兆赫核磁共振。 此次收购为学生提供了使用 在确定结构的工具和直接经验， 合成的产品。 有机化学I已修改， 学生们在课程的后半部分被介绍给NMR理论， 秋季学期。 实验室仪器介绍 与神学讲座相吻合。 学生验证身份 他们的实验室产品的红外光谱和核磁共振光谱。 学生 在大约15次实验室演习中使用核磁共振仪， 三门有机化学课程 该机构正在匹配NSF 给予同等数额的资金。

With funds provided by this NSF-ILI grant and a local match, Sinclair Community College has greatly expanded its undergraduate Organic Chemistry courses through the purchase of a Varian EM360, Mhz NMR. This acquisition provides students with hands-on experience in using the instrument and direct experience in identifying the structure of products they synthesize. Organic Chemistry I has been modified so that students are introduced to NMR theory during the last half of the fall quarter. Introduction of the instrument in the laboratory coincides with the theorectical lectures. Students verify the identity of their laboratory product using IR and NMR spectroscopy. Students have access to the NMR during approximately 15 laboratory exercises in three organic chemistry courses. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
