Upgrading the Chemistry Curriculum Through the Introduction of Modern Methods in NMR Spectroscopy

该项目将现代核磁共振（NMR）光谱学引入本科课程。新的傅里叶变换核磁共振仪正在被纳入化学专业和未成年人的几个高级课程。在仪器分析实验室课程中，计划了一个新的实验，向学生介绍FT-NMR的概念和技术。其中包括的技术是homomethane去耦，门控去耦和自旋晶格弛豫时间测量的反转恢复方法。在有机化学实验课程中，NMR的使用大大增加，并引入了现代方法。在高级物理化学实验室课程中，核磁共振成分被添加为课程中当前实验的第二种分析方法。 该仪器也可以作为正在进行的一系列讲习班的一部分，向高中教师和学生介绍分析方法。

This project introduces modern nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy into the undergraduate curriculum. The new Fourier-transform-NMR instrument is being integrated into several upper-level courses for chemistry majors and minors. In the instrumental analysis laboratory course, a new experiment has been planned to introduce students to the concepts and techniques of FT-NMR. Among the techniques included are homonuclear decoupling, gated decoupling and spin lattice relaxation time measurement by the inversion recovery method. In the organic chemistry laboratory course, the use of NMR is greatly increased, and modern methods are introduced. In the advanced physical chemistry laboratory course, an NMR component is being added as a second method of analysis for an experiment currently in the curriculum. The instrument can also be used as part of an ongoing series of workshops that introduce analytical methods to high school teachers and students.
