Acquisition of a 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer for Use in Research and Research Training at Seattle University

在重大研究仪器(MRI)采购计划的支持下，西雅图大学化学系将获得一台400 MHz核磁共振光谱仪。该光谱仪将用于三个部门，涉及广泛的研究领域，包括有机合成、生物有机化学、物理化学、微生物学和材料科学。它将用于表征和研究氮杂-Diels-Alder产品、核苷酸模拟物、羟烷基硝酸酯、抗菌剂和高性能胶凝材料。核磁共振波谱是化学家用于阐明分子结构的最广泛使用的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，并提供有关分子中原子的排列和连接性的信息。获得的动力学信息提供了对分子运动的洞察。该奖项将为化学、生物和土木工程与环境工程系的教职员工和学生提供基本的分析能力。西雅图中央社区学院的教职员工和学生也将使用它。它将在两所大学的本科实验室课程中使用。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Acquisition Program, the Department of Chemistry at Seattle University will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. The spectrometer will be used in three departments across a wide range of research areas, including organic synthesis, bioorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, microbiology and material science. It will be used to characterize and study aza-Diels-Alder products, nucleotide mimics, hydroxyalkyl nitrates, antimicrobial agents and high-performance cementitious materials. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is the most widely used tool available to chemists for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances and to provide information on the arrangement and connectivity of atoms in molecules. Dynamical information is obtained providing insight on the motions of molecules. This award will provide essential analytical capabilities to faculty and students in the departments of Chemistry, Biology, and Civil and Environmental Engineering. Faculty and students at Seattle Central Community College will also use it. It will be used in undergraduate laboratory courses at both institutions.
