Purchase of NMR Spectrometer

化学研究仪器和设施项目的这一奖项将帮助明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校的化学系获得一台300 MHz的核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)创建新的碳-碳键；(2)卤代环丙基醚裂解用于开发取代的丙烯醛阴离子合成子；(3)多价碘的化学；以及(4)1-芳基-1-丙烯的氢硼化反应的区域化学。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、催化和生物学等领域都是有用的。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at University of Minnesota at Duluth acquire a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) Creation of New Carbon-Carbon Bonds, (2) Halocyclopropyl Ether Fragmentation Applied to the Development of a Substituted Acrolein Anion Synthon, (3) Chemistry of Polyvalent Iodine, and (4) The Regiochemistry of the Hydroboration of 1-Aryl-1-Propenes. 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, catalysis, and in biology.
