MRI: Acquisition of a 600 MHz Spectrometer with Cryogenic Probe

北卡罗莱纳大学教堂山分校化学系的Michael T. Crimmins、Maurice S. Brookhart、Michel R. Gagne、Gary J. Pielak和Marcey Waters获得了主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的这一奖项，他们将获得一台600 MHz核磁共振光谱仪和一个低温探针，用于开发新的高效合成复杂有机分子的方法，如聚酮和中环醚的不对称合成。它将用于推进生物有机合成、有机和无机催化以及分子识别方面的研究项目。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。该仪器将成为教学和研究的一个组成部分。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program, Michael T. Crimmins, Maurice S. Brookhart, Michel R. Gagne, Gary J. Pielak and Marcey Waters in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill will acquire a 600 MHz NMR spectrometer with a cryogenic probe for use in the development of new and efficient methods of synthesis of complex organic molecules such as the asymmetric synthesis of polyketides and medium ring ethers. It will be used to advance research projects in bio-organic synthesis, organic and inorganic catalysis, and molecular recognition.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 for chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies will have an impact in synthetic organic/inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.
