Purchase of a Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction System

单晶x射线晶体学是测定固体结构最有效的分析方法。在合成无机、有机、生物无机和有机金属化学中，单晶x射线衍射是表征分子结构的宝贵工具。从分子间组成和结构的知识中获得的信息有助于开发催化或有机合成中潜在的普遍感兴趣的新反应。这份来自化学共享仪器项目的合同将帮助化学系和位于教堂山的北卡罗来纳大学获得单晶x射线衍射系统。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：金属氧配合物的研究铜配合物的合成、反应性和光谱学线性链式化合物的相变金属膦和金属胂化合物配位体的有机转化有机金属化学

Single crystal x-ray crystallography is the most powerful analytical method for structure determination of solids. In synthetic inorganic, organic, bioinorganic and organometallic chemistry, single crystal x-ray diffraction is an invaluable tool to characterize molecular structure. The information gained from the knowledge of the intermolecular composition and structure helps to develop new reactions of potentially general interest in catalysis or organic synthesis. This award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to acquire a Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction System. Among the areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition are the following: 1. Studies of Metal Oxo Complexes 2. Synthesis, Reactivity, and Spectroscopy of Copper Complexes 3. Phase Transitions in Linear Chain Compounds 4. Metallophosphine and Metalloarsine Compounds 5. Organic Transformation of Coordinated Ligands 6. Organometallic Chemistry
