FTIR Spectroscopy in an Integrated Laboratory Curriculum

这个项目将在阿勒格尼学院的化学实验室课程中发展红外光谱学的使用。傅里叶变换红外技术的结合是我们新的综合实验室计划成功的关键因素。化学专业的学生将学习和使用红外光谱学，从入门开始，一直持续到高年级。傅里叶变换红外所提供的速度、分辨率和计算机化的数据处理是必不可少的。具体实验包括聚合物、金属络合物和合成方法综合过程中产生的物质的表征。

This project will develop the use of infrared spectroscopy in the chemistry laboratory curriculum at Allegheny College. The incorporation of fourier transform infrared techniques is a key element for the success of our new integrated laboratory program. Chemistry students will study and use infrared spectroscopy starting at the introductory level and continuing through to the senior year. The speed, resolution, and computerized data manipulation offered by a fourier transform infrared are essential. Specific experiments include characterization of polymers, of metal complexes, and of substances generated in an integrated course in synthetic methods.
