Purchase of NMR Instrumentation

这项来自化学研究仪器项目的奖励将帮助加州大学洛杉矶分校化学系获得一台360 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，该光谱仪将用于以下化学领域的研究调查：1)生物活性天然产物的合成，2)有机络合物的结构识别，3)超分子化学的探索性研究，4)单重态氧的不稳定反应中间体，5)新型硼烷、碳硼烷和金属硼烷的合成及其反应性研究，6)合成有机化学。核磁共振光谱法是化学家用来分析分子结构的最有力的工具。它用于识别未知物质，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。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱学对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物和催化以及生物学等领域都很有用。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of California at Los Angeles acquire a 360 MHz NMR spectrometer which will be used in research investigations in the following areas of chemistry: 1) Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Products, 2) Structural Recognition in the Complexation of Organic Compounds, 3) Exploratory Studies in Supramolecular Chemistry, 4) Unstable Reactive Intermediates from Singlet Oxygen, 5) Study of the Synthesis and Reactivity of Novel Boranes, Carboranes, and Metallacarboranes, and 6) Synthetic Organic Chemistry. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometry 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 state-of-the-art NMR spectroscopy is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies are useful in areas such as polymers and catalysis, and in biology.
