Purchase of CCD-Based X-Ray Diffractometer

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施项目和多学科活动办公室的合同将帮助威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的化学系获得一台基于ccd的x射线衍射仪。这种设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：(1)有机硅化学，(2)机械和探索性有机光化学，(3)对映选择性合成化学，(4)价间化合物的电子转移研究，(5)疏水诱导折叠的最小增量和(6)机械有机金属化学。x射线衍射仪用于精确测量分子的完整三维结构。所获得的信息给出了给定分子的所有键距和键角的精确值，并给出了分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities will assist the Department of Chemistry at University of Wisconsin at Madison acquire a CCD-Based X-Ray Diffractometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) organosilicon chemistry, (2) mechanistic and exploratory organic photochemistry, (3) enantioselective synthetic chemistry, (4) electron transfer studies in intervalence compounds, (5) minimum increments of hydrophobically induced folding and (6) mechanistic organometallic chemistry The X-ray diffractometer is used to make accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule. The information obtained gives the precise values of all the bond distances and bond angles of a given molecule and it gives accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules.
