Acquisition of a 600 MHz NMR Spectrometer

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，加州大学戴维斯分校化学系和食品科学与技术系将获得一台600 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。新仪器将使100多名研究生和博士后学生能够常规获得比现在更大的色散和灵敏度的高场光谱。该仪器将使高场下常规收集质子探测二维核磁共振数据以确定有机分子的结构，以及直接检测对无机化学研究具有重要意义的多种异核，包括四极核。600兆赫的仪器将提供能力支持许多需要访问高场核磁共振的新教员任命，该仪器将允许在所有可用仪器上合理分配核磁共振时间，用于研究生和本科生的研究和教学，包括加州大学戴维斯分校建立的少数民族外展计划，如数学和物理科学少数民族本科生研究计划（MURPPS）计划和ACS项目SEED。核磁共振（NMR）波谱是化学家用来研究分子结构的最有力的工具之一。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，以及研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Departmental Multi-User Instrumentation (CRIF:MU) Program, the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of California-Davis will acquire a 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Spectrometer. The new instrument will enable a user base of over 100 graduate and postdoctoral students to routinely obtain high field spectra with greater dispersion and sensitivity than is now possible. The instrument will make possible such experiments as routine collection of proton-detected two-dimensional NMR data at high field for structural determination of organic molecules, and direct detection of numerous heteronuclei, including quadrupolar nuclei, important for studies in inorganic chemistry. The 600 MHz instrument will provide capabilities to support numerous new faculty appointments that require access to high field NMR and this instrument will allow rational partitioning of NMR time on all available instruments for use in research and teaching of graduates and undergraduates, including well-established minority outreach programs at UC Davis such as the Minority Undergraduate Research Program in Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MURPPS) program and ACS Project SEED. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools 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.
