With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Cornell University will acquire a four circle, CCD X-ray diffractometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: a) solid state chemistry of binary and ternary compounds; b) intermetallic topologies and organic metals relevant to the superconducting state; c) new catalysts for polymer synthesis; d) new stoichiometric reagents for dinitrogen functionalization; and e) supramolecular transition metal compounds for small molecule activation. 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. This instrument will enable stronger collaboration with faculty at Ithaca College, a local liberal arts institution, Boston University and Montana State University. These studies will have an impact in materials chemistry, polymer science and synthetic chemistry.

在化学研究仪器和设施(CRIF)计划的支持下，康奈尔大学化学系将获得一台四圈的CCDX射线衍射仪。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：a)二元和三元化合物的固态化学；b)金属间拓扑结构和与超导状态有关的有机金属；c)用于聚合物合成的新型催化剂；d)用于氮素官能化的新型化学计量试剂；以及e)用于小分子活化的超分子过渡金属化合物。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。这一工具将加强与当地文科院校伊萨卡学院、波士顿大学和蒙大拿州立大学的教职员工的合作。这些研究将对材料化学、聚合物科学和合成化学产生影响。
