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 Joanne D. Kehlbeck and colleagues Susan Kohler, Laura A. MacManus-Spencer and Laurie Tyler from Union College will acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The instrument will be used to support research activities such as: 1) understanding and using hyperpolarized agents for magnetic resonance imaging and NMR spectroscopy, 2) determining molecular conformations, 3) identifying bioactive natural products, 4) advancing knowledge of nanoparticle structure and function, 5) increasing knowledge of J-coupling in inorganic transition metal complexes, and 6) understanding fluorocarbon/protein binding in the environment. The acquisition will foster collaborations between student and faculty researchers and increase student access to modern instrumentation in laboratory courses, summer programs, and community outreach activities.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 to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies will have an impact in synthetic organic/inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. 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》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。利用重大研究仪器(MRI)项目授予的这一奖项，联合学院的Joanne D.Kehlbeck教授及其同事Susan Kohler、Laura A.MacManus-Spencer和Laurie Tyler将获得一台400 MHz核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱仪。该仪器将用于支持下列研究活动：1)了解和使用用于磁共振成像和核磁共振光谱的超极化试剂，2)确定分子构象，3)鉴定具有生物活性的天然产物，4)增进纳米粒子结构和功能的知识，5)增加对无机过渡金属络合物中J-偶联的了解，以及6)了解环境中氟碳/蛋白质的结合。这项收购将促进学生和教师研究人员之间的合作，并在实验室课程、暑期项目和社区推广活动中增加学生接触现代仪器的机会。核磁共振光谱是化学家可用于阐明分子结构的最强大的工具之一。它被用来识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对合成有机/无机化学、材料化学和生物化学产生影响。该仪器将成为教学和研究不可或缺的一部分。
