Acquisition of a 300 MHz Multinuclear NMR Spectrometer for Chemical Research

凭借化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这一奖项，杜兰大学化学系将获得300 MHz多核NMR光谱仪。这些设备将使研究人员能够进行合成有机和无机化学、天然产品特性和机械化学方面的研究。 NMR将用于表征新的主族和有机金属化合物、天然产物、用于有机材料开发的新型有机前体、生物活性有机试剂、超分子过渡金属络合物以及在沸石中进行的有机反应产物的分析。 此外，洛约拉大学和泽维尔大学的教师将可以使用这些设备。核磁共振（NMR）光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，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱仪是必不可少的。这些NMR研究的结果将对合成有机化学和生物化学产生影响。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Tulane University will acquire a 300 MHz Multinuclear NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out research on synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, natural product characterization and mechanistic chemistry. NMR will be used in the characterization of new main group and organometallic compounds, natural products, novel organic precursors for organic materials development, bioactive organic reagents, supramolecular transition metal complexes, and analysis of products from organic reactions carried out in zeolites. In addition, faculty from Loyola University and Xavier University will have access to the equipment. 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 synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry.
