400 MHz NMR Spectrometer

化学研究仪器项目的这一奖项将帮助俄克拉荷马大学化学系购买一台现代化的400 MHz多核核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将用于下列研究领域：(1)手性过渡金属络合物；(2)大脑中的氧化化学和生物化学；(3)液晶和聚合电解质凝胶；(4)催化不对称反应；(5)有机过渡金属化学；(6)海洋天然产物；(7)铁载体；(8)活性或有机部分的合成、稳定和应用；(9)核苷酸类似物；(10)硝基金属卟啉；以及(11)聚醚离子载体的二价运输。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。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma in the purchase of a modern 400 MHz multinuclear NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will be used in the following areas of research: (1) Chiral transition metal complexes; (2) Oxidation chemistry and biochemistry in the brain; (3) Liquid crystals and polymerized electrolyte gels; (4) Catalytic asymmetric reactions; (5) Organotransition metal chemistry; (6) Marine natural products; (7) Siderophores; (8) Synthesis, stabilization, and application of reactive or organic moieties; (9) Nucleotide analogs; (10) Nitrosylmetalloporphyrins; and (11) Divalent transport by polyether ionophores. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available to chemists 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.
