Purchase of an EPR Instrument

普渡大学化学系将利用化学研究仪器计划颁发的这一奖项，帮助获得最先进的电子自旋共振(ESR)/光谱仪。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：1.铜蛋白质的EPR研究。2.沸石基质中的导电聚合物-电子纳米结构的设计。3.生物相关金属络合物的EPR研究4.弱碳-碳键双自由基三重态的表征和电子对耦合机制。5.光合作用器官的EPR研究。电子自旋共振(ESR)谱是研究含有未成对电子的分子的主要技术。ESR光谱仪在固态化学、表面化学、固态物理、电化学和材料科学等领域都很有用。

The Department of Chemistry at Purdue University will use this award from the Chemical Research Instrumentation Program to help acquire a state-of-the-art Electron Spin Resonance (ESR)/Spectrometer. The areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include the following: 1. EPR Studies of Copper Proteins. 2. Conducting Polymers in Zeolite Hosts-Design of Electronic Nanostructures. 3. EPR Studies of Biologically Relevant Metal Complexes 4. Weak Carbon-Carbon Bonds. The Characterization of Diradical Triplet States and Mechanisms of Electron Pair Coupling. 5. EPR Studies of the Photosynthetic Apparatus. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) Spectroscopy is the primary technique for studying molecules which contain unpaired electrons. An ESR spectrometer is useful in areas such as solid state chemistry, surface chemistry, solid state physics, electrochemistry, and material science.
