Purchase of a CCD-Based X-Ray Diffractometer

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的合同将帮助California@Irvine大学化学系获得一个基于ccd的区域探测器系统，用于单x射线结构分析。这种设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：(1)低聚和聚合配体桥接过渡金属化合物的制备；(2)合成有机镧系化学；(3)硅氧烷的合成和反应性；(4)发光和氧化还原活性超分子体系；(5)人工β片的设计、合成和研究；(6)合成有机化学。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 (CRIF) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at University of California@Irvine acquire a CCD-based area detector system for single X-ray structure analysis. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) preparation of oligomeric and polymeric ligand-bridged transition metal compounds, (2) synthetic organolanthanide chemistry, (3) synthesis and reactivity of silsesquioxanes, (4) luminescent and redox-active supramolecular systems, (5) design, synthesis, and study of artificial beta-sheets, and (6) synthetic organic 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
