It is now fully functional. On October 15, the Varian Applications Chemist will arrive to provide on-site training of the NMR for the chemistry faculty. David Farrar could not wait until October. He has run many of the common one dimensional and two dimensional experiments, and has also taught the basics to several of the faculty in Chemistry. The NMR has already been used by the second semester organic chemistry to help identify unknown ketones.
Work is underway to develop experiments for instrumental analysis.
Eagle will use the spectrometer in inorganic chemistry lab to characterize inorganic complexes and to determine magnetic susceptibility using the Evans Method. Future plans include the use of the instrument in biochemistry, physical chemistry, and NMR spectroscopy. During Homecoming'96, October 26, Eagle and Farrar will be conducting tours of the NMR facility. We hope that you will stop by and see the new instrument.
