Purchase of 500 MHz NMR

根据化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这份合同，迈阿密大学化学系将获得一台500 MHz核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够进行以下研究：a)富勒烯衍生物和更高级的富勒烯；B) α -氨基有机锂的结构研究；C)海洋藻类的天然产物；d)新颖的氧化还原自组装系统。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，以及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将对包括材料化学在内的许多领域产生影响。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Miami will acquire a 500 MHz NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies on a) fullerene derivatives and the higher fullerenes; b) structural studies of alpha-aminoorganolithiums; c) natural products from marine algae; and d) novel redox self-assembling systems. 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, to 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 will have an impact in a number of areas including materials chemistry.
