Upgrade of Ohio State University Chemistry Department NMR Facility

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目和多学科活动办公室（OMA）的合同将帮助俄亥俄州立大学化学系获得一台400 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪以及250 MHz和300 MHz核磁共振控制台。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)用于不对称催化的手性金属配合物，(2)复杂碳水化合物系统的构象分析，(3)异常分子系统的构建，(4)碳烯重排的激活屏障，(5)穿孔素介导的细胞溶解，(6)用于不对称催化的催化树状大分子，(7)高电位铁蛋白，以及(8)选定碳离子物种的结构和动态行为。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。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物、催化和生物学等领域是有用的。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) will assist the Department of Chemistry at Ohio State University to acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer and 250 MHz and 300 MHz NMR consoles. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas such as the following: (1) chiral metal complexes for asymmetric catalysis, (2) conformational analysis of complex carbohydrate systems, (3) construction of unusual molecular systems, (4) activation barriers for carbene rearrangements, (5) perforin-mediated cytolysis (6) catalytic dendrimers for asymmetric catalysis, (7) high potential iron proteins, and (8) structure and dynamic behavior of selected carbanionic species. 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.
