With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, Professor Gary Breton from Berry College and colleagues Kevin Hoke, Theunis Van Aardt and Dominic Qualley will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) synthesis of strained dinitrogen heterocycles, (b) stepwise assembly of coordination complexes on electrode surfaces, (c) characterization of the nucleic acid binding activity of the bovine leukemia virus NC protein, and (d) stereoselective synthesis of pterocarpans.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 at Berry College and neighboring institutions such as Shorter University.

凭借重大研究仪器 (MRI) 计划的这一奖项，贝里学院的 Gary Breton 教授及其同事 Kevin Hoke、Theunis Van Aardt 和 Dominic Qualley 将获得一台 400 MHz NMR 波谱仪。该提案旨在加强各级的研究培训和教育，特别是在以下领域：(a) 应变二氮杂环的合成，(b) 电极表面配位复合物的逐步组装，(c) 牛白血病病毒NC蛋白的核酸结合活性的表征，以及(d) 紫檀素的立体选择性合成。 核磁 共振 (NMR) 光谱是化学家阐明分子结构的最强大工具之一。它用于识别未知物质，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。对于进行前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的核磁共振波谱仪至关重要。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。该仪器将成为贝里学院和肖特大学等邻近机构教学和研究不可或缺的一部分。
