With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, Professor Martin Minelli from Grinnell College and colleagues Charles Cunningham, T. Andrew Mobley and Stephen Sieck will acquire a benchtop X-ray diffractometer. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education at all levels, especially structure studies in areas such as (a) molybdenum coordination complexes, (b) bimetallic organometallic compounds, (c) organic nitrogen (nitrone) compounds, and (d) intermetallic compounds.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 in the chemistry and physics departments.

格林内尔学院的马丁·米内利教授和他的同事查尔斯·坎宁安、T。安德鲁·莫布里和斯蒂芬·西克将获得一台台式X射线衍射仪。该提案旨在加强各级的研究、培训和教育，特别是在以下领域的结构研究：（a）钼配位络合物，（B）有机金属化合物，（c）有机氮（硝酮）化合物，和（d）金属间化合物。并提供关于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，包括有机和无机化学，材料化学和生物化学。该仪器将成为化学和物理系教学和研究的组成部分。
