300 MHz NMR Console Upgrade

根据化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）和主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的这份合同，阿克伦大学化学系将获得现有300 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪的升级。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：杂环类主基团和过渡金属配合物的制备和表征；树突状结构的制备、表征及物理性质研究导电聚合物;酶机制和蛋白质修饰的研究；发展用于聚合物表征的先进多维核磁共振；并研究了有序聚合物在溶液中的三维结构。核磁共振波谱学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。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) and Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Programs, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Akron will acquire an upgrade of an existing 300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in the following areas: preparation and characterization of main-group and transition metal complexes with heterocyclynes; preparation, characterization and study of physical properties of dendrimer structures; conducting polymers; studies of enzyme mechanisms and protein modification; development of advanced multidimensional NMR for polymer characterization; and the study of three-dimensional structures of ordered polymers in solution.Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 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.
