With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program that is co-funded by the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, Professor Christopher Bradley from Mount St Mary's University and colleagues Daesung Chong (Ball State University), Tomothy Brunker (Towson University), Peter Craig (McDaniel College) and Timothy Funk (Gettysburg College) will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer for use by a consortium of primarily undergraduate institutions that include Mount St Mary's University, Ball State University, Towson University, McDaniel College, Gettysburg College and Loyola University Maryland. The award is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) arene effects on cobalt catalysts for activated alkane dehydrogenation; (b) redox-induced linkage isomerism in chiral ruthenium sulfoxide complexes; (c) investigation of the stabilization of boron-containing cations by azametallocenes; (d) studies of model enzyme complexes; (e) coordination chemistry studies; (f) development of transition metal catalysts for organic transformations; (g) synthesis, reactivity, and crystallographic characterization of transition metal carbonyl complexes containing oxygen-donating ligands; and (h) catalysts for proton reduction.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 and research training not only at Mount St Mary's University but also at the neighboring institutions included in the consortium.

凭借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这一奖项，来自圣玛丽山大学的Christopher布拉德利教授及其同事Daesung Chong（鲍尔州立大学），托莫西布伦克（陶森大学），彼得克雷格（McDaniel College）和Timothy Funk（葛底斯堡学院）将获得一个单晶X射线衍射仪，供一个主要由本科院校组成的财团使用，其中包括圣玛丽山玛丽大学、鲍尔州立大学、陶森大学、麦克丹尼尔学院、葛底斯堡学院和洛约拉大学马里兰州。该奖项旨在加强各级的研究和教育，特别是在以下领域：（a）芳烃对活性烷烃脱氢的钴催化剂的影响;（B）手性钌亚砜络合物中氧化还原诱导的键异构现象;（c）氮杂金属茂对含硼阳离子稳定作用的研究;（d）模型酶络合物的研究;（e）配位化学研究;（f）催化剂的研究;（g）催化剂的研究。（f）有机转化用过渡金属催化剂的开发;（g）含给氧配体的过渡金属羰基络合物的合成、反应性和晶体学表征;和（h）用于质子还原的催化剂。X射线衍射仪允许精确和精确地测量分子的全部三维结构，包括键距和键角，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。该仪器不仅将成为圣玛丽山玛丽大学教学、研究和研究培训的一个组成部分，而且将成为该联盟中邻近机构的一个组成部分。
