With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Departmental Multi-User Instrumentation (CRIF:MU) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Rutgers University New Brunswick will acquire an X-ray diffractometer with CCD detector. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including studies on new multifunctional Lewis acids for applications in catalysis and materials chemistry, new electronically interesting oligomers and polymers, rigid organic linkers for electron injection in dye-sensitized solar cells, and enzymes as catalysts for the synthesis of chiral intermediates for pharmaceuticals. The new diffractometer will allow training a highly diverse student population in crystallographic methods at both the graduate (Ph.D.) and undergraduate levels. Efforts include development of a new module for an advanced undergraduate "Synthesis and Characterization" laboratory course to give students hands-on experience in structure determination. The X-ray diffractometer will also be used in established outreach programs at Rutgers-Newark (ACS SEED program and outreach to local high schools).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. Such structural studies have a large impact in a number of areas, especially in the synthesis of important organic and inorganic chemicals and in understanding chemical interactions in polymers and biomolecules.

在化学研究仪器和设施：部门多用户仪器（CRIF:MU）计划的支持下，罗格斯大学新不伦瑞克化学系将获得一台带有CCD探测器的x射线衍射仪。该设备将加强许多领域的研究，包括用于催化和材料化学的新型多功能路易斯酸的研究，新的电子感兴趣的低聚物和聚合物，染料敏化太阳能电池中用于电子注射的刚性有机连接物，以及用于合成药物手性中间体的酶的催化剂。新的衍射仪将允许在研究生（博士）和本科阶段训练高度多样化的晶体学方法学生群体。努力包括为高级本科“合成与表征”实验课程开发一个新模块，让学生在结构确定方面获得实践经验。该x射线衍射仪还将用于罗格斯-纽瓦克大学已建立的外展项目（ACS SEED项目和向当地高中的外展）。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。这种结构研究在许多领域都有很大的影响，特别是在重要的有机和无机化学品的合成以及在了解聚合物和生物分子中的化学相互作用方面。
