该奖项由主要研究仪器项目支持。斯克兰顿大学正在购买一台400兆赫的核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪，该光谱仪能够进行常规分析和更复杂的实验，有助于阐明化合物的分子结构。该仪器支持了斯克兰顿大学的Michael Fennie教授及其同事Arthur Catino和Nicholas Sizemore以及斯克兰顿地区其他学院和大学的几位合作者的研究。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。该仪器是化学本科生和研究生教学、研究和研究训练的一个组成部分。该仪器是斯克兰顿地区的区域性资源，用户来自当地工业和高中科学课程，以及该地区的其他大学。核磁共振光谱仪的奖励旨在加强各级的研究和教育。它尤其影响了促进中小分子结构阐明的方法的发展。该光谱仪可用于多种领域的研究，如催化，生物物理结构分析，合成方法的开发，天然和合成产品的合成以及有机金属化学。总的来说，核磁共振波谱学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，以及研究溶液或固体状态下分子之间相互作用的动力学。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is supported by the Major Research Instrumentation program. The University of Scranton is acquiring a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer that has the capabilities to perform both routine analysis and more complex experiments that helps elucidate molecular structures of chemical compounds. The instrument supports the research of Professor Michael Fennie and colleagues Arthur Catino and Nicholas Sizemore at the University of Scranton and several collaborators at other colleges and universities in the Scranton region. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. This instrument is an integral part of teaching as well as research and research training of undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry. This instrument is a regional resource in the Scranton area, with users coming from local industry and high school science classes, in addition to other colleges in the region.The award of the NMR spectrometer is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. It especially impacts the development of methodologies to facilitate the structure elucidation of small and medium-sized molecules. This spectrometer allows research in a variety of fields such as catalysis, biophysical structural analysis, development of synthetic methodology, synthesis of both natural and synthetic products and organometallic chemistry. In general, NMR spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the elucidation of the structures 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 or in the solid state.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
