With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, Professor Daron Janzen from College of St Catherine and colleagues Steven Drew (Carleton College), Ted Pappenfus (U Minnesota Morris), James Wollack (College of St Catherine) and Alicia Peterson (College of Saint Benedict) will acquire a benchtop X-ray diffractometer that will serve a consortium of schools. The award will enhance research training and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) vapochromic sensor materials, (b) organic materials for use in bulk heterojunction solar cells, and (c) dechlorination of environmental pollutants.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 organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research at a consortium of institutions that include the College of St. Catherine, Carleton College, University of Minnesota at Morris and the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University.

凭借重大研究仪器 (MRI) 项目的这一奖项，圣凯瑟琳学院的 Daron Janzen 教授及其同事 Steven Drew（卡尔顿学院）、Ted Pappenfus（明尼苏达大学莫里斯分校）、James Wollack（圣凯瑟琳学院）和 Alicia Peterson（圣本尼迪克特学院）将购买一台台式 X 射线衍射仪，为学校联盟提供服务。该奖项将加强各级的研究培训和教育，特别是在 (a) 气色传感器材料、(b) 用于本体异质结太阳能电池的有机材料和 (c) 环境污染物脱氯等领域。X 射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度，并提供有关空间排列的准确信息 一个分子相对于邻近分子的关系。这里描述的研究将影响许多领域，包括有机和无机化学、材料化学和生物化学。该仪器将成为圣凯瑟琳学院、卡尔顿学院、明尼苏达大学莫里斯分校以及圣本尼迪克特学院和圣约翰大学等机构联盟教学和研究的一个组成部分。
