The Chemistry Department was awarded a $250,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to upgrade its Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The grant was written by faculty members Scott Ulrich (PI), Mike Haaf (co-PI), and Anna Larsen (co-PI). NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique to elucidate chemical structures and monitor chemical reactions; the new NMR spectrometer will be used to enhance the Department’s undergraduate research activity and modernize its teaching laboratory curriculum.
