Abstract

NMR interpretation not only allows students to analyze laboratory products and determine molecular structure, but more importantly it teaches them to solve complex problems. However, the wealth of information that allows molecular identification also makes spectral interpretation difficult for many students. A tool has been developed that allows students to logically analyze spectra and to visualize how peak multiplicity reveals molecular connectivity. The NMR Mosaic reinforces problem-solving skills, makes mistakes in interpretation more recognizable, and aids interpretation of complex multiplets.

  Students at two-year colleges and small four-year colleges have often obtained their exposure to NMR spectroscopy through “canned” spectra because the cost of an NMR spectrometer, particularly a high-field spectrometer, is prohibitive in these ...
