Acquisition of a Varian Gemini 300 NMR System

该奖项来自化学研究仪器项目，将帮助SUNY- Geneseo化学系获得一台将用于研究的300 Mhz固态核磁共振光谱仪。支持的研究活动包括：(1)大环配合物的合成和表征，(2)亲脂性和芳香族环环衍生物的合成，(3)二茂铁基隐式化合物的合成，(4)环己酮的氢化物加成，(5)用Mg(O)和Cu(I)改进混合wurtz -类偶联反应的方法。核磁共振（NMR）波谱是化学家用来阐明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是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。从这些核磁共振研究的结果是有用的领域，如聚合物和催化，并在生物学。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the SUNY--Geneseo acquire a solid state 300 Mhz NMR spectrometer which will be used in research. The research activity to be supported includes: (1) the synthesis and characterization of macrocyclic complexes, (2) the synthesis of lipophilic and aromatic cyclam derivatives, (3) the synthesis of ferrocenyl cryptands, (4) the hydride addition to cyclohexanones, and (5) improved methods for mixed Wurtz-like coupling reactions using Mg(O) and Cu(I). 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. The results from these NMR studies are useful in the areas such as polymers and catalysis, and in biology.
