MRI: Acquisition of a 300 MHz solution- and solid-state NMR

凭借来自主要研究仪器(MRI)项目的这一奖项，道恩学院的Erin Wilson教授及其同事Christopher Wentworth、David Clevette、Andrea Holmes和Tessa Durham Brooks将获得一台具有固体和液体能力的300 MHz核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱仪。这项建议旨在加强各级的研究、培训和教育，特别是在生物化学、植物生理学和凝聚态物理等研究领域。核磁共振波谱是化学家可以用来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，表征分子中原子的特定排列，并研究分子在溶液中和固体中相互作用的动力学。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、物理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。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program Professor Erin Wilson and colleagues Christopher Wentworth, David Clevette, Andrea Holmes and Tessa Durham Brooks from Doane College will acquire a 300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer with solid and liquid capabilities. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education at all levels, especially in areas of study such as biochemistry, plant physiology and condensed matter physics.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 and also in the solid state. 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, physics and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.
