With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program, Benny Chan and colleagues Heba Abourahma, Georgia M. Arvanitis, David Hunt and Stephanie E. Sen from The College of New Jersey will acquire a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer to support research that includes: 1) synthesis and characterization of chalcogenide materials; 2) studies on copper hinokitiol and its adducts; 3) asymmetric induction into Parham cyclizations; 4) polycycle construction utilizing biomimetic polyene cyclization methods; 5) co-crystals as active pharmaceutical ingredients, and 6) organic heterocycle chemistry. Collaborations with Princeton University in solid state chemistry and physics will also take place.The technique of single-crystal X-ray crystallography allows accurate and precise determination of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and it provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of molecules relative to the neighboring molecules. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas ranging from synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry to systems of biological interest. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.

通过这项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的奖励，来自新泽西学院的Benny Chan和他的同事Heba Abourahma、Georgia M. Arvanitis、David Hunt和Stephanie E. Sen将获得一台单晶x射线衍射仪，以支持以下研究：1)碳系化合物材料的合成和表征；2)铜杉木醇及其加合物的研究；3) Parham环化的不对称诱导；4)利用仿生多烯环化方法构建多环；5)共晶作为活性药物成分；6)有机杂环化学。与普林斯顿大学在固态化学和物理方面的合作也将进行。单晶x射线晶体学技术允许精确和精确地测定分子的完整三维结构，包括键的距离和角度，它提供了分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。这些研究将在许多领域产生影响，从合成有机和无机化学到生物兴趣系统。该仪器将成为教学和研究的一个组成部分。
