Use of FT-NMR Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

该项目将把200mhz傅里叶变换核磁共振（FT-NMR）光谱的功能引入到我们的有机化学和高级实验技术课程中。在有机化学中，该仪器将通过质子和碳-13光谱进行结构分析。FT-NMR表征产品的更高灵敏度将在微尺度有机实验室中得到应用。本课程将介绍实验，以提高学生对核磁共振应用的认识。高磁场和化学位移试剂将被用于解析复杂分子和光学立体异构体混合物的光谱。在高级课程中，将提供各种实验来说明和解释目前使用的核磁共振技术，如核自旋解耦和分子结构内核弛豫时间的测量。有机配体在过渡金属配位化合物中的反应将通过碳-13观测来监测。

This project will introduce the capabilities of 200 MHz Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) spectroscopy into our courses in organic chemistry and advanced experimental techniques. In organic chemistry the instrument will be used for structural analyses via proton and carbon-13 spectroscopy. The greater sensitivity of FT-NMR to characterize products will find use in the microscale organic laboratory. Experiments will be introduced to increase student awareness of NMR applications. The high magnetic field and chemical shift reagents will be utilized to resolve spectra of complex molecules and optical stereoisomer mixtures. In the advanced course a variety of experiments will be offered which illustrate and explain currently used NMR techniques such as nuclear spin decoupling and measurement of nuclear relaxation times within a molecular structure. Reactions of organic ligands in transition metal coordination compounds will be monitored via carbon-13 observation.
