Acquisition of a 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

在重大研究仪器(MRI)计划的支持下，位于富勒顿的加州州立大学化学系将获得一台400 MHz核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够开展以下方面的研究：a)肟和肟醚在电子转移时的反应机理，以及反应产物和合成材料的表征；b)官能团转化的新方法的开发；c)一系列新的二正丁基氯(烯烃)锡单体的合成和表征。核磁共振光谱是化学家可用于阐明分子结构的最强大的工具之一。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产生影响。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at California State University in Fullerton will acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies on a) the reaction mechanisms of oximes and oxime ethers upon electron transfer and for characterization of reaction products and synthesized materials; b) the development of novel methods for functional group transformations; and c) the synthesis and characterization of a homologous series of new di-n-butylchloro(olefin)tin monomers.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.
