With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Acquisition Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyoming will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer. The diffractometer will be used in the structural characterization of inorganic and macromolecular enzyme models, fluoroalkylphosphine complexes that are potential hydrogenation catalysts, and linear oligometallic complexes for photophysics studies. Other uses are in the areas of silk fiber structure analysis, carbohydrate and natural product synthesis, surfactant synthesis, and polypeptide folding dynamics. The X-ray diffractometer allows the determination of accurate and precise bond distances and angles between atoms in a molecule. It essentially maps out the three dimensional structure of a molecule, and the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules. The composition of a solid material is fully described by analyzing the diffraction pattern. This equipment will allow the University of Wyoming to better train students across the chemical sciences at both the undergraduate and graduate levels with a modern diffractometer system and software.

在主要研究仪器（MRI）采购计划的支持下，怀俄明州大学化学系将获得一台单晶X射线衍射仪。 该衍射仪将用于无机和大分子酶模型的结构表征，氟烷基膦络合物是潜在的氢化催化剂，线性低聚物络合物的化学物理研究。 其他用途是在丝纤维结构分析，碳水化合物和天然产物合成，表面活性剂合成和多肽折叠动力学领域。X射线衍射仪可以精确测定分子中原子之间的键距和角度。 它基本上绘制出分子的三维结构，以及分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列。 通过分析衍射图可以全面描述固体材料的组成。 该设备将使怀俄明州大学能够利用现代衍射仪系统和软件更好地培训本科和研究生阶段的化学科学学生。
