Early January will see the relaunch of the SpectraSchool website, part of the Spectroscopy in a suitcase (SIAS) project of the RSC-led Chemistry for our future (CFOF) programme funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). First launched in January 2008 and hosted by the University of Leicester, the website provides teachers with access to real infrared, uv-visible, nmr and mass spectral data from a library of over 50 compounds.   

The revamped website will feature several new features, including: 

  • 13 C-nmr spectra for compounds in the library; 
  • integration traces for the compounds' nmr spectra; 
  • animations of molecular processes, eg bond vibrations, fragmentations etc. 

New copy and paste functions will allow teachers to incorporate into their own teaching materials graphs and spectral data from the site.   

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
