MRI: Acquisition of an NMR Spectrometer to Maintain Active Undergraduate Education and Research Programs

霍巴特和威廉史密斯学院化学系将获得一台400兆赫核磁共振光谱仪，该奖项来自主要研究仪器项目（MRI）。核磁共振波谱仪将用于阐明有机合成过程中的分子结构，包括1)潜在的抗癌化疗药物和其他肽类生物偶联物的合成；2)纳米级器件的新型有机金属分子线候选物；3)生物活性氮杂环的合成。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。所要求的核磁共振波谱仪将用于表征产品，识别未知材料，并确定复杂结构的三维几何形状

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation program (MRI), the Department of Chemistry at Hobart and William Smith Colleges will acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The NMR spectrometer will be utilized to elucidate the structure of molecules during organic synthesis including the synthesis of 1) potential anticancer chemotherapeutics and other peptidic bioconjugates, 2) novel organometallic molecular wire candidates for nanoscale devices and 3) biologically active nitrogen heterocycles. 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 requested NMR spectrometer will be used to characterize products, identify unknown materials, and determine the three-dimensional geometry of complex structures
