FT Infrared Spectroscopy in Upper-Level Chemistry Laboratories

傅立叶变换红外光谱仪将用于分析和物理化学的高级本科实验室以及两门新课程--物理聚合物化学实验室和高级合成实验室。这些课程的学生将学习使用红外光谱来表征和定量无机、有机和聚合物材料。许多实验还将利用现代的样品处理方法，包括漫反射和水平和柱面衰减的总反射率。新课程将指导本科生在两个重要的化学领域，现有课程中的额外实验将确保化学毕业生有足够的机会接触傅立叶变换红外光谱的理论和现代应用。

A Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer will be used in upper level undergraduate laboratories in analytical and physical chemistry and in two new courses, Physical Polymer Chemistry Laboratory and Advanced Synthesis Laboratory. Students in these courses will learn the use of infrared spectroscopy to characterize and quantitate inorganic, organic, and polymeric materials. Many of the experiments will also utilize modern methods of sample-handling, including diffuse reflectance and both horizontal and cylindrical attenuated total reflectance. The new courses will instruct undergraduates in two important areas of chemistry, and the additional experiments in existing courses will guarantee that chemistry graduates have adequate exposure to the theory and modern applications of FTIR.
