This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program Professor Gregory J. Grant and colleagues Jisook Kim and Kyle Knight from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga will acquire an automated benchtop X-ray diffractometer. The instrument will be used to support research activities such as:1) transition metal mediated self-assembly of molecular squares and hexagons using thiacrown ligands, 2) organometallic catalysis of stereoselective organic reactions, and 3) study of reduction methods in organic synthesis.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 but not limited to chemistry and materials chemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.

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。有了这个来自主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的奖项，田纳西大学查塔努加的Gregory J. Grant教授和同事Jisook Kim和凯尔奈特将获得一台自动台式X射线衍射仪。该仪器将用于支持以下研究活动：1）过渡金属介导的使用硫代冠醚配体的分子正方形和六边形的自组装，2）立体选择性有机反应的有机金属催化，以及3）有机合成中还原方法的研究。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，包括但不限于化学和材料化学。该仪器将成为教学和研究的一个组成部分。
