MRI: Acquisition of an In situ Infrared Spectroscopy System for Research and Teaching

根据主要研究仪器项目（MRI）和化学研究仪器和设施项目（CRIF）的合同，西弗吉尼亚大学将获得配备高压反应堆的红外光谱系统。一个基本的红外光谱仪系统提供光谱的红外区域的光谱数据。这些数据提供了有关物质振动频率的信息，从而提供了对被调查材料的化学成分和结构的深入了解。红外光谱是一种广泛应用于了解化学和生物系统性质以及材料研究的工具。原位高压反应器将允许在高于环境条件的压力下研究反应和产物。这个工具将在各个层次上促进学生在研究和课程作业方面的培训。该仪器将提供给该地区其他机构的研究人员。该提案旨在加强各级的研究和教育，特别是在以下领域的研究：(a)生物质材料的非均相氧化和燃烧污染物的催化转化，(b)催化c -c键形成反应，包括一氧化碳的还原偶联和脱氢交叉偶联，(c)由连接到两亲性，多功能和1,2,3-三唑配体的晚期过渡金属催化的有机金属反应。(d)钯催化合成具有重要生物学意义的氮杂环的途径。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation program (MRI) and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities program (CRIF), West Virginia University will acquire an infrared spectroscopy system equipped with a high pressure reactor. A basic infrared spectrometer system provides spectroscopic data in the infrared region of the spectrum. These data give information about the vibrational frequencies of a substance, thus providing insight on the chemical composition and structure of the materials under investigation. Infrared spectroscopy is a widely used tool in understanding the properties of chemical and biological systems and in materials research. The in situ high pressure reactor will allow the study of reactions and products subjected to pressures above ambient conditions. This tool will advance the training of students in their research and course work at all levels. The instrumentation will be made available to researchers at other institutions in the region. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as studying (a) heterogeneous oxidation of biomass materials and catalytic conversion of combustion pollutants, (b) catalytic C-C bond forming reactions including reductive coupling of carbon monoxide and dehydrogenative cross-coupling, (c) organometallic reactions catalyzed by late transition metals ligated to an ambiphilic, multifunctional, and 1,2,3-triazole ligand systems, and (d) palladium-catalyzed pathways for making nitrogen heterocycles of biological importance.
