CRIF:MU: CAMRA-YSU - Cyber-Accessible Magnetic Resonance at YSU - Purchase of a 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer

根据化学研究仪器和设施：多用户计划（CRIF:MU）的这份合同，扬斯敦州立大学（YSU）化学系将获得一台400 MHz核磁共振光谱仪。核磁共振谱仪将用于以下研究项目：1)合成杂环化学，2)生物有机化学，3)柔性大环，4)聚合物和无机化学，5)纳米级有机金属材料。该提案可能包括来自与扬斯敦州立大学合作的机构的大量不同和代表性不足的学生：马斯金姆学院（50%的学生来自低收入的阿巴拉契亚家庭），哈罗德华盛顿学院（65%的学生是非裔美国人或西班牙裔）和三角洲学院（大部分学生来自蓝领家庭的第一代大学生）。核磁共振（NMR）波谱是化学家用来研究分子结构的最有力的工具之一。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，以及研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。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 this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multi User program (CRIF:MU), the Department of Chemistry at Youngstown State University (YSU) will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. The NMR spectrometer will be utilized in research projects including 1) synthetic heterocyclic chemistry, 2) bioorganic chemistry, 3) flexible macrocycles, 4) polymer and inorganic chemistry, and 5) nanoscale organometallic materials. This proposal will potentially include a large number of diverse and underrepresented students from institutions collaborating with Youngstown State University: Muskingum College (50% student body drawn from low-income Appalachian families), Harold Washington College (65% enrollment is African-American or Hispanic), and Delta College (majority of enrollment consists of first generation college attendees from blue-collar families).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.
