With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Departmental Multi-User Instrumentation program (CRIF:MU), Professor Timothy M. Swager and Dr. Peter M. Mueller from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer. The instrument will be used to support research activities such as: 1) redox transformations in a number of metal-containing systems (Jonas Peters); 2) study of molecular photocatalysis sytems (Daniel Nocera); 3) characterization of metal-containing systems with multiply-bonded ligands (Christopher Cummins); 4) the development of new catalysis systems for olefin metathesis and dinitrogen reduction (Richard Schrock). The instrument will also feature in the educational outreach activities of Dr. Mueller.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, catalysis and solar energy research. Students using the apparatus will receive valuable training with cutting-edge instrumentation.

从化学研究仪器和设施奖：部门多用户仪器计划（CRIF：MU），教授蒂莫西M。Swager和Peter M.来自马萨诸塞州理工学院的穆勒将获得一台单晶X射线衍射仪。该仪器将用于支持以下研究活动：1）若干含金属系统中的氧化还原转化（Jonas Peters）; 2）分子生物学系统研究（丹尼尔Nocera）; 3）具有多重键合配体的含金属系统的表征（Christopher康明斯）; 4）烯烃复分解和二氮还原新催化系统的开发（Richard Schrock）。 该仪器还将在Mueller博士的教育推广活动中发挥作用。X射线衍射仪可以准确和精确地测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度，并提供有关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，催化和太阳能研究。 使用该设备的学生将接受尖端仪器的宝贵培训。
