A combination of Chime/JCAMP-DX VIEWER with results from
common computational chemistry programs can be used to link theoretical results
to experimental spectra on a single computer screen. The methodology is
straightforward, and can be accomplished on any modern Intel-based computer
system with SVGA graphics and WWW browser.
The result is a combination
of experimental data and computational results with student-manipulated
animation. This combination cannot be achieved with static media, and is a
demonstration of the potential power of the WWW to do things that cannot be done
on paper.
