This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Multiuser Program (CRIF:MU), Professor Carol A. Fierke from the University of Michigan and colleagues Adam J. Matzger, John Montgomery, Vincent L. Pecoraro and Melanie S. Sanford will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer with a strong copper source to obtain high-resolution structural information in diverse fields including synthetic organic chemistry, materials science and inorganic chemistry. This instrument will support education and research in complexes from metallacrowns producing soft materials; determination of absolute and relative stereochemistry of molecules important in catalytic reactions; in synthesis and characterization of biological properties of fluorinated proteins; in mechanistic studies of late metal complexes with high oxidation states; and in metal-organic frameworks.An X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of a molecule relative to neighboring molecules. The studies described here will impact a number of areas, including chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。密歇根大学的菲尔克和他的同事亚当·J·马茨格、约翰·蒙哥马利、文森特·L·Pecoraro和Melanie S. Sanford将收购一台具有强铜源的单晶X射线衍射仪，以获得包括合成有机化学、材料科学和无机化学在内的各个领域的高分辨率结构信息。该仪器将支持以下方面的教育和研究：金属冠化合物生成软材料的络合物;催化反应中重要分子的绝对和相对立体化学的测定;氟化蛋白质生物特性的合成和表征;高氧化态晚期金属络合物的机理研究; X射线衍射仪允许准确和精确地测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和键角，并提供关于分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的准确信息。这里描述的研究将影响许多领域，包括化学，材料化学和生物化学。该仪器将成为教学和研究的一个组成部分。
