MRI: Acquisition of a 300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer for Research in Organic, Organometallic, Biological, and Materials Chemistry

在主要研究仪器(MRI)采购计划的支持下，宾夕法尼亚州西切斯特大学化学系将获得一台300 MHz核磁共振(NMR)光谱仪。该仪器将用于研究项目，以表征有机分子、聚合物、有机金属络合物、硅酸盐体系和富含G的DNA结构。它将在有机实验室中用于表征反应产物，并在物理和生物化学中用于确定动力学、热力学和磁化率测量。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。该奖项将为西切斯特大学的化学家和生物化学家提供这些基本的分析能力。本科生将受益于在他们的研究项目中使用现代光谱仪，以及在实验室课堂上使用它的培训。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Acquisition Program, the Department of Chemistry at West Chester University of Pennsylvania will acquire a 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectrometer. The instrument will be used in research projects to characterize organic molecules, polymers, organometallic complexes, silicate systems and G-rich DNA structures. It will be employed in organic laboratory classes to characterize reaction products and in physical, and biochemistry classes to determine kinetic, thermodynamic and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most broadly 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. This award will provide these essential analytical capabilities to the chemists and biochemists at West Chester University. Undergraduate students will benefit from use of a modern spectrometer in their research projects and from the training in its use in laboratory classes.
