MRI: Acquisition of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer for Cyber Facilitated Regional Use

通过这项来自主要研究仪器项目（MRI）的奖励，奥克兰大学的Mark W. Severson教授和同事Amanda Bryant-Friedrich、Roman Dembinski将获得一台400 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪，该光谱仪具备多核能力。核磁共振的收购将影响化学以及生物、生物无机和辐射化学以及化学毒理学的研究。该仪器将有助于整合研究和教育，并将为奥克兰大学以及密歇根州东南部的科学界成员开辟新的研究途径。奥克兰大学与其邻近的社区学院和大学之间的关系促进了创纪录数量的学生参与科学事业，这些学生代表了密歇根州东南部的许多种族和文化群体。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/无机化学和生物化学产生影响。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation program (MRI), Professor Mark W. Severson and colleagues Amanda Bryant-Friedrich, Roman Dembinski from Oakland University will acquire a 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with multinuclear capabilities. The acquisition of the NMR will impact research in chemistry as well as biological, bioinorganic and radiation chemistry, and chemical toxicology. This instrumentation will aid in integrating research and education and will open new research avenues for members of the scientific community not only at Oakland University but also within Southeastern Michigan. The relationship between Oakland University and its neighboring community colleges and universities has facilitated the involvement of a record number of students representing many ethnic and cultural groups represented in southeastern Michigan in the scientific enterprise.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/inorganic chemistry and biochemistry.
