Purchase of a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer

这项来自化学研究仪器和设施计划的奖项将帮助密苏里大学圣彼得堡分校化学系。路易斯在购买一台300兆赫的核磁共振。该设备将加强多个领域的研究，包括：由DPPC或DPPM配体桥联的双铂络合物的化学，由五硼烷(9)和六硼烷(10)衍生的金属硼烷的化学，硅齐聚物和聚合物；重金属X射线造影剂的合成，二氧六环化学，以及手性1-羟基磷酸盐和膦酰胺的制备和反应。核磁共振波谱是化学家用来解释分子结构的最有力的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，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。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振光谱是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物和催化等领域以及生物学中都是有用的。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of Missouri-St. Louis in the purchase of a 300 MHz NMR. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: Chemistry of Diplatinum Complexes Bridged by Dppc or Dppm Ligands, Metallaboranes Derived from Pentaborane(9) and Hexaborane(10), Silicon Oligomers and Polymers; Synthesis of Heavy-Metal X-ray Contrast Agents, Dioxirane Chemistry, and the Preparation and Reactions of Chiral 1-Hydroxy Phosphonates and Phosphonamides. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy 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 spectrometry 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.
