Acquisition of an Anasazi FT-Multinuclear NMR

惠灵耶稣会大学化学系将从主要研究仪器(MRI)计划获得这一奖项，获得Anasazi EFT-核磁共振转换包，这将使该系能够将过时的核磁共振波谱仪(NMR)升级为傅立叶变换(FT)-多核系统。惠灵耶稣会的教员正在合成用于光伏应用的铟和镓二硫代氨基甲酸盐，这种设备将使他们能够识别产品和杂质。该仪器也将被本科生用于他们要求的论文研究和他们的课程作业。核磁共振波谱是化学家用来解释分子结构的最有力的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，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。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的。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 Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Wheeling Jesuit University will acquire an Anasazi EFT-NMR conversion package, which will allow the department to upgrade an obsolete nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR) to a Fourier transform (FT)-multinuclear system. Faculty at Wheeling Jesuit are synthesizing indium and gallium dithiocarbamates for photovoltaic applications, and this equipment will allow them to identify products and impurities. The instrument will also be used by undergraduates for their required thesis research and in their course work. 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 spectrometers 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.
