With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania will acquire a X-ray diffractometer with CCD detector for small molecule diffractometry. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: a) synthesis and chemical and bioactivity properties of metallatricarbaboranyl and isoelectronic metallaheteroatomboranyl complexes; b) control of radical polymerization of olefins by metalloradical and atom transfer mechanisms; c) transition metal complexes of organosilicon and -germanium compounds: new structures and catalysts; d) conjugated porphyrin-based assemblies for biomimetic energy transduction and catalysis; and e)elucidation of catalyst structure and function.The X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and it provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas, including the preparation of more efficient catalysts, materials chemistry and biotechnology.

在化学研究仪器和设施 (CRIF) 计划的支持下，宾夕法尼亚大学化学系将购买一台带有 CCD 探测器的 X 射线衍射仪，用于小分子衍射分析。该设备将加强多个领域的研究，包括：a）金属碳硼基和等电子金属杂碳硼基配合物的合成以及化学和生物活性特性； b) 通过金属自由基和原子转移机制控制烯烃的自由基聚合； c) 有机硅和锗化合物的过渡金属配合物：新结构和催化剂； d) 用于仿生能量转换和催化的基于共轭卟啉的组件； e) 阐明催化剂的结构和功能。X射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度，并提供有关分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的准确信息。 这些研究将在许多领域产生影响，包括更高效催化剂的制备、材料化学和生物技术。
