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迈阿密大学化学系获得一台300 MHz的核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)隐形和富勒烯物种的特征；(2)氨基有机金属和衍生短杆菌毒素；(3)超分子电化学；(4)生物分子识别；以及(5)“LANTECH”、“BIOTECH”和一氧化氮化学。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 Miami to acquire a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) characterization of cryptatium and fullerene species, (2) aminoorganometallics and derivatized brevetoxins, (3) supramolecular electrochemistry, (4) biomolecular recognition, and (5) "Lantech", "Biotech" and Nitric Oxide chemistry. 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.
