Purchase of Superconducting High-Field FT-NMR Spectrometer

这份来自化学研究仪器项目的合同将帮助犹他州立大学化学系购买一台高分辨率400兆赫、多核核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。这次升级将大大加强包括以下几个领域的研究：1)非线性光学聚合物的新方法和新的催化反应，2)铑催化羰基化合物硅甲酰基化，3)含亚硝基环戊二烯钌核配合物的反应性，4)dihls - alder法合成含二芳基醚α -氨基酸的环肽，5)杂环化合物合成的新方法，6)气单胞菌氨基肽酶功能的核磁共振研究，7)新型锌镉配合物的NMR表征；8)有机离子自由基与双带电离子的反应。核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪用于获取分子结构信息（存在什么类型的碳和/或氢原子和/或杂原子，每种类型的原子的相对数量以及它们在分子中如何相互连接）和分子动力学信息（分子各部分移动的速度有多快）。这个仪器对于任何有意义的现代合成化学研究计划都是必不可少的。＊＊＊

9311730 Wright This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at Utah State University in the purchase of a high resolution 400 MHz, multinuclear, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This upgrade will enhance greatly research in a number of areas including the following: 1) Novel approaches to nonlinear optical polymers and new catalytic reactions, 2) Rhodium catalyzed silaformylation of carbonyl compounds, 3) Reactivity of complexes containing the nitrosylcyclopentadienylruthenium core, 4) Synthesis of cyclic peptides containing diaryl ether alpha- amino acids via Diehls-Alder methods, 5) New methods for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, 6) NMR investigations into the function of Aeromonas aminopeptidase, 7) Characterization of new zinc and cadmium complexes using NMR, 8) Reactions of organic ion radicals and doubly charged ions. %%% A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer is used to obtain information about molecular structure (what types of carbon and/or hydrogen atoms and/or hetero-atoms are present, what are the relative number of each type of atoms and how are they connected to one another in the molecule) and molecular dynamics (how rapidly are the various parts of the molecule moving). This instrument is essential for any meaningful, modern synthetic chemistry research program. ***
