With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) and support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program (CRIF), Professor Diana Cermak from Knox College and colleagues Katherine Adelsberger, Helen Hoyt and Mark Shroyer will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. This spectrometer will allow research in a variety of fields such as those that accelerate chemical reactions of significant economic importance, as well as allow study of biologically relevant species. In general, 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 performed by undergraduate students at Knox College, Monmouth and Illinois Central College.The award is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) synthesis and characterization of camphor-sulfonyl derivatives and new phosphonates; (b) studying redox-activity of supporting ligands; (c) characterizing inorganic iron complexes, organic reaction products and organic ligands; (d) identifying phosphorus species and quantifying plant-available phosphorus within soils at Knox's biological field station; (e) studying solution phase magnetism and singlet-triplet splitting for Cu(II) carboxylate dinuclear species; and (f) studying lignans and peptides.

有了来自主要研究仪器计划（MRI）的这一奖项和化学研究仪器计划（CRIF）的支持，诺克斯学院的Diana Cermak教授及其同事凯瑟琳Adelsberger，Helen Hoyt和Mark Shroyer将获得400 MHz NMR光谱仪。该光谱仪将允许在各种领域进行研究，例如加速具有重要经济意义的化学反应，以及允许研究生物相关物种。一般来说，核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家用来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。该仪器将成为诺克斯学院、蒙茅斯和伊利诺斯中央学院本科生教学和研究的一个组成部分，该奖项旨在加强各级研究和教育，特别是在以下领域：（a）磺酰基衍生物和新膦酸酯的合成和表征;（B）研究支持配体的氧化还原活性;（c）表征无机铁络合物、有机反应产物和有机配体;（d）在诺克斯生物野外站鉴定磷物种并量化土壤中植物可利用的磷;（e）研究溶液相磁性和Cu（II）羧酸盐双核物种的单重态-三重态分裂;和（f）研究木脂素和肽。
