Acquisition of an EPR Spectrometer at Southern Miss

根据化学研究仪器和设施：多用户计划（CRIF:MU）授予的这份合同，南密西西比大学化学系将获得一台微型系列电子顺磁共振（EPR）光谱仪，用于溶液和冷冻基质研究有机自由基、顺磁离子（生物和非生物）的配位复合物、磁性材料、聚合物、催化剂和活性中间体（如活性氧）。电子顺磁共振（EPR）谱仪产生分子和分子电子结构的信息。它也可以用来获得自由基的寿命信息，自由基是肿瘤生长和/或各种化学反应的起始所必需的短命物种。这些研究将对许多领域产生影响，从制造业到材料和生物化学。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multi User program (CRIF:MU), the Department of Chemistry at Southern Mississippi University will acquire a micro series electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer for solution and frozen matrix investigations of organic radicals, coordination complexes of paramagnetic ions (both biological and non-biological), magnetic materials, polymers, catalysts, and reactive intermediates such as reactive oxygen species.An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer yields information on the molecular and electronic structure of molecules. It may also be used to obtain information about the lifetimes of free radicals, short-lived species that are often essential for the initiation of tumor growth and/or a variety of chemical reactions. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas, from manufacturing to materials and biological chemistry.
