Computer Modernization and X-ray Generator

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。从分子组成和结构的知识中获得的信息有助于开发催化或合成中潜在的普遍感兴趣的新反应。这份来自化学研究仪器项目的合同将帮助路易斯维尔大学化学系升级他们的计算设备和x射线衍射实验室。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：硫钼(v)配合物中的硫化学聚咪唑配体的双核铁配合物分子识别：静电因子含桥接氧合物的双金属配合物多肽和假多肽的x射线研究矿物结构的单晶和粉末x射线衍射研究。

Single crystal x-ray crystallography is the most powerful analytical method for structure determination of solids. In synthetic inorganic, organic, bioinorganic and organmetallic chemistry, single crystal x-ray diffraction is an invaluable tool to characterize molecular structure. The information gained from the knowledge of the molecular composition and structure helps to develop new reactions of potentially general interest in catalysis or synthesis. This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Louisville acquire an upgrade of their computing facilities and the x-ray diffraction laboratory. Among the areas of chemical research that will enhance by the acquisition are the following: 1. Sulfur Chemistry within a Sulfidomolybdenum(v) complex 2. Dinuclear Iron Complexes of Polyimidazole Ligands 3. Molecular Recognition: The Electrostatic Factor 4. Bimetallic Complexes with Bridging Oxygenates 5. X-Ray Studies on Peptides and Pseudopeptides 6. Single Crystal and Powder X-Ray Diffraction Studies of Mineral Structures.
