Purchase of an ESR Spectrometer (Chemistry)

电子自旋共振（ESR）光谱是化学家用来研究具有包含未成对电子的电子构型的分子的性质的技术。通过这种方式，可以理解各种中间体的结构。圣巴巴拉的加州大学化学系将使用由化学共享仪器计划，生物仪器计划和材料研究计划仪器联合资助的该奖项，以帮助获得ESR光谱仪。此次收购将加强的一些研究领域包括：1）生物化学上重要的氧化-还原反应的机理2）金属蛋白质研究3）新微孔主体的设计、合成和表征4）铁磁金属分子中间体的表征5）亲核芳族取代6）金属络合物的光反应7）与1，3-二基捕获反应。

Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is a technique used by chemists to study the properties of molecules having an electronic configuration containing unpaired electrons. In this manner, the structures of a wide variety of intermediates can be understood. The Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara will use this award that is joint-funded by the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program, the Biology Instrumentation Program, and the Instrumentation for Materials Research Program to help acquire an ESR spectrometer. Some of the areas of research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include: 1) Mechanisms of biochemically important oxidation-reduction reactions 2) Metallo-protein studies 3) Design, synthesis, and characterization of new microporous hosts 4) Characterization of ferromagnetic metal molecular intermediates 5) Nucleophilic aromatic substitution 6) Photoreactions of metal complexes 7) Studies related to the 1,3-diyl trapping reaction.
