A modified jigsaw classroom activity is presented for the integrated study of functional
groups and their characteristic infrared absorption frequencies. Students individually …

Infrared spectroscopy is traditionally used to identify compounds and aid in structure
elucidation. However, solid samples require tedious and sometimes messy preparation of …

Infrared and visible spectroscopy are among the most fundamental and most easily
understood spectroscopic techniques for the introductory chemistry course. Both involve …

Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is a staple structural elucidation and characterization technique
because of its ability to identify functional groups and its ease of use. Interestingly, it allows …

One of the ongoing challenges in the teaching of spectroscopy is getting students to
recognize the relationship between specific spectral transitions and molecular structural …

Acquisition of infrared spectrometers for use in general chemistry lab was made possible
through the NSF-sponsored Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) program …

This exercise integrates the infrared unknown identification (" IR-ID") experiment common to
most organic laboratory syllabi with computer molecular modeling. In this modification …

An inquiry-based activity is described in which organic-chemistry students explore how IR
