With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Departmental Multi-User Instrumentation program (CRIF:MU), Professors John F. Hershberger, Gregory R. Cook, Sivaguru Jayaraman, Seth C. Rasmussen and Wenfang Sun from North Dakota State University Fargo will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer. The instrument will be used to support research activities such as: 1) photochemical reactivity of photoactive chromophores; 2) study of conjugated organic materials for applications in photovoltaics; 3) characterization of synthetic chiral amines and chiral building blocks; 4) study of the role of transition metal ions in protein and enzyme function; 5) study of square planar platinum compounds for energy conversion and chemical sensing; and, 6) development of homogeneous catalysis for decarboxylative transformations.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.

通过化学研究仪器和设施的奖项：部门多用户仪器计划（CRIF：MU），教授John F. Hershberger，Gregory R. Cook，Sivaguru Jayaraman，Seth C. Rasmussen和Wenfang Sun来自North Dakota State Fargo将获得单晶X射线X射线差异仪。该仪器将用于支持研究活动，例如：1）光活性发色团的光化学反应性； 2）研究用于光伏应用的有机材料； 3）表征合成手性胺和手性构建块； 4）研究过渡金属离子在蛋白质和酶功能中的作用； 5）研究用于能量转化和化学传感的方形平面铂化合物； 6）X射线衍射仪允许对分子的完整三维结构（包括键距离和角度）进行准确，精确的测量，并提供有关分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的准确信息。此处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。该工具将是教学和研究的组成部分。
