MRI/RUI Aquisition of a Single Crystal Diffractometer to Support Synthetic Chemistry Research at California State University Northridge

在主要研究仪器(MRI)计划的支持下，位于北岭的加州州立大学化学系将获得一台单晶X射线衍射仪。该设备将加强一些领域的研究，包括：a)完全基于硬配基环境的双功能转移加氢催化剂；b)发现合成复杂分子的新方法和策略；以及c)开发无机化学中的新合成方法。X射线衍射仪可以精确和精确地测量分子的全部三维结构，包括键的距离和角度，并提供关于分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。这些研究将对合成化学产生影响。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at California State University in Northridge will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: a) bifunctional transfer hydrogenation catalysts based on entirely hard donor ligand environments; b) discovery of new methods and strategies for the synthesis of complex molecules; and c) development of new synthetic methodologies in inorganic 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 synthetic chemistry.
