Upgrade of an 11.74 Tesla NMR Instrument

这项来自化学研究仪器和设施(CRIF)计划以及学术研究和基础设施(ARI)计划的奖项将帮助威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校化学系升级现有的11.74特斯拉核磁共振。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)机械过渡金属有机金属化学(2)硼氢化物簇合物的合成和机理研究(3)肽和蛋白质中的折叠模式，(4)有机硅化学。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 Chemical Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program and the Academic Research and Infrastructure (ARI) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin Madison upgrade the existing 11.74 Tesla NMR. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) mechanistic transition metal organometallic chemistry (2) synthesis and mechanistic studis of boron hydride clusters (3) folding patterns in peptides and proteins, and (4) organosilicon 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.
