Application of Rapid Scan NMR to the Undergraduate Curriculum

一种新的快速扫描60 MHz连续波核磁共振仪将改进化学本科课程。这种核磁共振特别适用于本科教学实验室，因为它易于操作和维护，并且获取光谱的速度很快。该仪器灵敏度的提高将极大地扩展在微型有机实验室中进行的实验的数量和质量。高级有机课程的学生将结合计算机分子建模程序使用该仪器进行构象分析实验。该仪器还将对高级仪器分析和物理化学课程产生重大影响。受赠者将与来自非联邦来源的NSF奖励相匹配。

The undergraduate curriculum in chemistry will be improved by a new rapid scan 60 MHz CW-NMR instrument. This NMR is particularly suitable for undergraduate teaching laboratories because it is easy to operate and maintain, and acquires spectra rapidly. This instrument's increased sensitivity will greatly expand the quantity and quality of experiments carried out in the micro-scale organic laboratories. Students in the Advanced Organic course will use the instrument in combination with a computer molecular modeling program for conformational analysis experiments. The instrument will also have substantial impact on the Advanced Instrumental Analysis and the Physical Chemistry courses. The grantee will match the NSF award from non-Federal sources.
