Purchase of a Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction System

单晶X射线结晶学是测定固体结构的最有力的分析方法。在合成无机化学、有机化学、生物无机化学和有机金属化学中，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在催化或有机合成中潜在的普遍感兴趣的新反应。化学共享仪器项目的这一奖项将帮助教堂山的化学系和北卡罗来纳大学获得单晶X射线衍射系统。此次收购将促进以下化学研究领域的发展：1.金属氧配合物研究2.合成、反应活性、铜配合物的光谱学3.直链化合物的相变4.金属膦和金属砷化合物5.配位配体的有机转化6.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
