| The use of reference spectra in teaching began in the 1950's with the publication of print handbooks of IR, NMR, and other experimental data. Digitization of the data began in the 1980's, and today there are large spectral collections easily accessed by web-based technologies. Students, faculty, and researchers now have the ability to conduct spectral searches, process, and analyze experimental data with powerful informatics tools. This talk introduces a new collection of 1.3 million reference spectra, used with integrated spectroscopy tools for teaching spectroscopy and chemical information. The spectral data and tools are coupled with contemporary chemical information methods for a comprehensive collection of resources for laboratory assignments. The use of the tools and the reference data for teaching organic chemistry will be highlighted, as well as a focus on functional group understanding of IR spectra, and an introduction to chemometrics. |
