The physical properties of oxygen, in particular, the blue color of the liquid phase, the red glow of its chemiluminescence, and its paramagnetism as shown by the entrapment or deflection of liquid oxygen by a magnetic field, can be investigated in a regular school setting with hand-held spectrophotometers and digital cameras. In college-level…

Described are six multipulse experiments with an emphasis on their application to common problems in chemistry. Exercises in relaxation time measurement, spin echoes, and polarization transfer are proposed. (CW)

Described is a case, a heterocyclic sulfoxide, which is useful for an introduction to first-order four-spin data analysis. Background of this technique for use with undergraduate students is given including a sample analysis, a list of supplementary materials, and experimental procedures. (CW)

Presented is a collection of terms associated with fourier transformations in chemistry. These terms are cross-referenced to a four-part article in the "Journal of Chemical Education." (CW)

Four microcomputer applications are presented including: "Computer Simulated Process of 'Lead Optimization': A Student-Interactive Program,""A PROLOG Program for the Generation of Molecular Formulas,""Determination of Inflection Points from Experimental Data," and "LAOCOON PC: NMR Simulation on a Personal Computer." Software, availability,…
