Purchase of a CCD-Equipped Single Crystal X-Ray Diffractometer

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的支持下，俄克拉何马大学诺曼化学系将获得一台带有CCD探测器的x射线衍射仪，用于小分子衍射。该设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：a)亚硝基和亚硝基金属卟啉的研究；B) 13族有机金属化合物的合成与表征；C)有机过渡金属配合物的反应性和合成用途；D)固体中的快速离子输运；e)合成生物无机化学。x射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键的距离和角度，并提供分子相对于邻近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，包括制备更有效的催化剂和生物化学。此外，这台配备ccd的单晶衍射仪将是俄克拉何马州的第一台同类仪器，并将作为国家资源用于服务附近机构的需求，包括几所小型地区学院。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma - Norman 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) studies of nitrosyl and nitroso metalloporphyrins; b) the synthesis and characterization of group 13 organometallic compounds; c) the reactivity and synthetic utility of organotransition metal complexes; d) fast ion transport in solids; and e) synthetic bioinorganic chemistry.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 and biochemistry. In addition, this CCD-equipped single crystal diffractometer will be the first instrument of its kind to be available in the state of Oklahoma, and will be used as a state resource for serving the needs of nearby institutions including several small regional colleges.
