With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program that is co-funded by the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, Professor Debra Dolliver from Southeastern Louisiana University and colleague Jean Fotie will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) development of synthetic techniques to make single geometric isomers of imine derivatives; (b) design and synthesis of biologically active molecules as potential antiprotozoan agents; (c) support of the program SEAL (Student Entrepreneurs as Active Leaders) Research in Physics; (d) modeling atomic and molecular properties, particularly those occurring under the influence of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic perturbations; and (e) synthesis of of thiophene-based room temperature ionic liquids and the testing of such ionic liquids as media for organic synthesis.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.

有了这个由化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划共同资助的主要研究仪器计划的奖项，东南路易斯安那大学的Debra Dolliver教授和同事Jean Fotie将获得400 MHz NMR光谱仪。该提案旨在加强各级的研究和教育，特别是在以下领域：（a）开发合成技术，制造亚胺衍生物的单一几何异构体;（B）设计和合成生物活性分子，作为潜在的抗原动物剂;（c）支持SEAL方案（学生企业家作为积极的领导者）物理学研究;（d）模拟原子和分子的性质，特别是那些发生在电，磁和电磁扰动的影响下;以及（e）噻吩基室温离子液体的合成和这种离子液体作为有机合成介质的测试。核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家可用于阐明分子结构的最有力的工具之一。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。对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱仪是必不可少的。这些NMR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的一个组成部分。
