With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, a consortium of universities consisting of Florida State University, Florida A&M University and the University of Florida will acquire an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectrometer. The new instrument will support the research of major users in the Chemistry, Oceanography and Geology Departments at the various institutions. Among the research programs in which EPR spectroscopy will play a vital role are: a) muscle biophysics; b) photosynthesis; c) metalloproteins; d) the structure and role in chemical reactions of reactive species such as radicals, radical-ion pairs, carbenes and nitrenes; e) use of EPR to study mineral dating and thermal stability; and f) spin distribution along the chains of low dimensional cuprate polymers.An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer is an instrument used to obtain information about the molecular and electronic structure of molecules. It may also be used to obtain information about the lifetimes of free radicals which are often essential for the initiation of tumor growth and/or a variety of chemical reactions. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas, in particular biological chemistry, materials sciences and geology.

通过主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的奖励，由佛罗里达州立大学、佛罗里达a&m大学和佛罗里达大学组成的大学联盟将获得一台电子顺磁共振（EPR）光谱仪。新仪器将支持各机构化学系、海洋系和地质系主要用户的研究。EPR光谱将发挥重要作用的研究项目包括：a)肌肉生物物理学；b)光合作用;c)金属离子;D)自由基、自由基离子对、碳烯和亚硝基等活性物质在化学反应中的结构和作用；e)利用EPR研究矿物测年和热稳定性；f)低维铜聚合物链上的自旋分布。电子顺磁共振（EPR）谱仪是一种用于获取分子和分子电子结构信息的仪器。它也可用于获得自由基寿命的信息，自由基对于肿瘤生长和/或各种化学反应的开始通常是必不可少的。这些研究将对许多领域产生影响，特别是生物化学、材料科学和地质学。
