Request for X-Ray Diffractometer

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的支持下，伊利诺伊大学香槟分校化学科学学院将获得一台带有CCD探测器的x射线衍射仪。该设备将加强许多领域的研究，包括以下研究：a)用于精细化学合成的新型主族和过渡金属催化剂；B)环境净化和制氢用无机催化剂；c)由杂环和卟啉组分衍生的超分子组装。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。这些研究将对许多领域产生影响，特别是重要无机化学品的合成和环境化学。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the School of Chemical Sciences at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign will acquire an X-ray diffractometer with CCD detector. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following studies on a) new main group and transition metal catalysts for fine chemical synthesis; b) inorganic catalysts for environmental clean-up and hydrogen production; and c) supramolecular assemblies derived from heterocyclic and porphyrinic components. 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, especially synthesis of important inorganic chemicals and environmental chemistry.
