Purchase of an X-ray Diffractometer

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。从化学研究仪器和设施多用户计划（CRIF：MU），教授保罗B。霍普金斯和同事卡伦戈德堡，朱莉科瓦奇，詹姆斯M。Mayer和华盛顿大学的菲利普J. Reid将获得一台X射线衍射仪，以支持有机金属化学的研究和教育;非血红素铁，钴和锰酶的模型;氧化反应;材料化学;手性光学性质;以及氢化物和二氢物种的研究。该衍射仪还将用于涉及华盛顿大学、斯佩尔曼学院和洛杉矶加州州立大学的本科生和研究生的推广活动。X射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度，并提供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。

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 Paul B. Hopkins and colleagues Karen Goldberg, Julie Kovacs, James M. Mayer, and Phillip J. Reid from the University of Washington will acquire an X-ray diffractometer to support research and education in organometallic chemistry; models for non-heme iron, cobalt, and manganese enzymes; oxidation reactions; materials chemistry; chiro-optical properties; as well as studies of hydride and dihydrogen species. The diffractometer will also be used in outreach activities involving undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Washington, Spelman College and California State University, Los Angeles.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.
