Acquisition of a 500 MHz NMR Spectrometer

核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家用来研究分子结构的最有力的工具。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。芝加哥大学化学系将利用化学共享仪器项目的这笔资金购买一台500 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，以及一台合适的计算机和外围设备。这个被广泛认可的部门获得光谱仪将加强16名用户在化学领域的研究，包括无机和有机合成、结构表征、瞬态中间体研究、不对称均相催化、磁共振线性预测方法、头孢菌素C-10肽基酯对植物细胞分裂和分化的调控机制及作用机制。

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available to the chemist for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances, characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solutions. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometry is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The Department of Chemistry of the University of Chicago will use this award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program to help purchase a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer along with an appropriate computer and peripherals. Acquisition of the spectrometer by this widely recognized department will enhance the research of a group of 16 users in areas of chemistry that include inorganic and organic synthesis, structural characterization, work on the examination of transient intermediates, asymmetric homogeneous catalysis, linear prediction methods for magnetic resonance, mechanism of control of plant cell division and differentiation, and mechanisms of action of cephalosporin C-10 peptidyl esters.
