400 MHz Multinuclear NMR Spectrometer

该奖项将帮助印第安纳州大学获得400 MHz NMR光谱仪，用于以下领域的研究调查：（1）金属有机化学;（2）金属羧酸盐化学;（3）材料相关化学和有机金属化学;（4）核酸催化剂（核酶和脱氧核糖酶）。 核磁共振（NMR）光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。 对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱分析技术是必不可少的。 这些NMR研究的结果在聚合物和催化以及生物学等领域都很有用。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department at Indiana University acquire a 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer which will be used in research investigations in the following areas: (1) metallo-organic chemistry; (2) metal carboxylate chemistry; (3) materials-related chemistry and organometallic chemistry; and (4) nucleic acid catalysts (ribozymes and deoxyribosymes). 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 areas such as polymers and catalysis, and in biology.
