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

凭借化学研究仪器和设施：多用户计划（CRIF：MU）的这一奖项，扬斯敦州立大学（YSU）化学系将获得400 MHz NMR光谱仪。NMR光谱仪将用于研究项目，包括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，以及5）纳米有机金属材料。这一提议将可能包括来自与扬斯敦州立大学合作的机构的大量多样化和代表性不足的学生：马斯京根学院（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%的入学人数是非洲裔美国人或西班牙裔），三角洲学院Delta College（大多数入学者都是来自蓝领家庭的第一代大学生）。核磁共振（NMR）光谱学是化学家用来阐明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，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱仪是必不可少的。这些NMR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.
