Purchase of a 300 MHz NMR

核磁共振波谱是化学家用来阐明分子结构的最有力的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，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。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家和生物学家来说，获得现代核磁共振波谱是必不可少的。马奎特大学化学系将利用化学仪器计划和仪器和仪器开发计划授予的这一奖项，帮助获得高场核磁共振光谱仪。收购将加强的研究领域包括：1)血红素反应性的蛋白质控制2)血红素蛋白模型化合物的振动光谱3)同化和异化亚硝酸还原酶模型4)不饱和有机硅烷的光化学5)有机金属法有机合成6)Ru(II)多吡啶配合物的光化学和光物理研究。

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 solution. Access to modern NMR spectroscopy is essential to chemists and biologists who are carrying out frontier research. The Department of Chemistry at Marquette University will use this award from the Chemical Instrumentation Program and the Instrumentation and Instrument Development Program to help acquire a high-field NMR spectrometer. The areas of research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include: 1) Protein control of heme reactivity 2) Vibrational spectra of hemoprotein model compounds 3) Models of assimilatory and dissimilatory nitrite reductase 4) Photochemistry of unsaturated organosilanes 5) Organic synthesis via organometallic methodology 6) Photochemical and photophysical studies of polypyridine complexes of Ruthenium (II).
