A Proposal to Acquire High Resolution Solids NMR Capability at the University of Florida

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目和主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的合同将帮助佛罗里达大学化学系获得一台带有固体和成像附件的400 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。该设备将加强许多领域的研究，包括：(1)光活性过渡金属聚合物的合成，(2)受限分子体系的动力学和排序，(3)固体酸的合成和核磁共振和‘ Cal-ad ’表征，(4)氟化分子与金属氧化物的相互作用，(5)微孔固体：笼形物和沸石，以及(6)生物分子固体中的分子运动。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 Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at University of Florida to acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer with solids and imaging accessories. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) synthesis of photoactive transition metal-containing polymers, (2) dynamics and ordering of confined molecular systems, (3) synthesis of solid acids and characterization by NMR and `Cal-ad`, (4) the interaction of fluorinated molecules with metal oxides, (5) microporous solids: clathrates and zeolites, and (6) molecular motion in biomolecular solids. 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.
