Purchase of NMR Spectrometer

在化学研究仪器和设施-多用户仪器获取(CRIF-MU)计划的支持下，犹他州立大学化学系将获得一台300 MHz核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够进行a)生物无机反应性研究；b)磷酸酯化学机理研究；c)双核金属水解酶机理研究；d)新型氨基糖苷类化合物的结构表征；e)天然产物的全合成。核磁共振波谱是化学家用来阐明分子结构的最有力的工具之一。它被用来识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对合成有机化学和生物化学产生影响。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities - Multiuser Instrument Acquisition (CRIF-MU) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Utah State University will acquire a 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out a) bioinorganic reactivity studies; b) mechanistic studies of phosphate ester chemistry; c) mechanistic studies of dinuclear metallohydrolases; d) structural characterization of novel aminoglycosides; and e) total synthesis of natural products. 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. The results from these NMR studies will have an impact in synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry.
