The Purchase of an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer

电子顺磁共振（EPR）光谱允许 化学家进行极其精确，高分辨率的研究 在含有不成对电子的材料上（顺磁性 化合物）。 这些研究揭示了分子生物学的信息。 这是任何其他技术都无法实现的。 德克萨斯农工大学化学系将使用 化学仪器计划的这个奖项， 获取EPR光谱仪 在化学领域中， 其中包括将通过收购得到加强的研究 如下： 1)表面化学与多相催化 2)富电子跃迁反应中的自由基物种 金属卤化物、酰基和硫醇盐 3)酶中金属配合物研究的新方法 4)铜（II）双-2 '2 '-联吡啶胺作为配体的结构研究 铜蛋白活性中心模型 5)氨基自由基和铵阳离子自由基 6)过渡金属的定向单晶研究 化合物.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy allows chemists to conduct extremely precise, high resolution studies on materials containing unpaired electrons (paramagnetic compounds). Such studies reveal information on molecular structure that is unavailable by any other technique. The Department of Chemistry at Texas A & M University will use this award from the Chemical Instrumentation Program to help acquire an EPR spectrometer. Among the areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition are included the following: 1) Surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis 2) Radical species in reactions of electron-rich transition metal hydrides, acyls and thiolates 3) Novel approaches to the study of metal complexes in enzymes 4) Stuctural studies of copper (II) bis-2'2'-dipyridylamines as models for active centers in copper proteins 5) Aminyl radicals and aminium cation radicals 6) Oriented single crystal studies of transition metal compounds.
