This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation programs. Boston College is acquiring a 500 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with liquid nitrogen cooled probe to support the research of Professor Thusitha Jayasundera and colleagues James Morken, Jianmin Gao, Jeffery Byers and Jia Niu. This spectrometer allows research in a variety of fields such as those that accelerate chemical reactions of significant economic importance, as well as permitting study of chemically and 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 or in the solid state. The probe uses nitrogen-cooled radiofrequency coils that deliver a much greater sensitivity enhancement over room temperature. 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 and biochemistry at this institution as well as collaborators from neighboring colleges including primarily undergraduate institutions. In addition, the instrument is part of activities involving the NSF funded Boston College Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program and the Paper to Plastics (P2P) summer program, as well as other outreach initiatives, such as the Women in Science and Technology (WST) program. These programs are largely composed of women, first generation students, and/or minorities that are under-represented in STEM disciplines.The award of the NMR spectrometer is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. It especially impacts the development of non-noble metal-based catalysts and the characterization of synthesized molecules to interrogate biomolecules that cannot be targeted pharmacologically, commonly referred as "undruggable". The instrumentation is also used for developing new synthetic methods for applications in organic chemistry and for identifying macromolecules prepared with tailor-made structures and sequences. In addition, it allows the characterization of species used in metalloradical catalysis and for understanding molecular interactions in microbiome communities.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.

该奖项由主要研究仪器和化学研究仪器计划共同支持。波士顿学院正在购买一台配备液氮冷却探头的500 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪，以支持Thusitha Jayasundera教授及其同事James Morken，Jianmin Gao，Jeffery Byers和Jia Niu的研究。该光谱仪可用于各种领域的研究，例如加速具有重要经济意义的化学反应，以及允许研究化学和生物学相关物种。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，并研究溶液或固态分子之间相互作用的动力学。探头使用氮气冷却的射频线圈，在室温下提供更大的灵敏度增强。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。该仪器是该机构化学和生物化学本科生和研究生的教学以及研究和研究培训的一个组成部分，以及来自邻近学院（主要是本科院校）的合作者。此外，该仪器是涉及NSF资助的波士顿学院本科生研究经验（REU）计划和纸到塑料（P2P）暑期计划以及其他推广活动的一部分，如妇女在科学和技术（WST）计划。这些项目主要由妇女、第一代学生和/或在STEM学科中代表性不足的少数民族组成。NMR光谱仪的奖项旨在加强各级的研究和教育。它特别影响非贵金属基催化剂的开发和合成分子的表征，以询问不能靶向的生物分子，通常被称为“不可药用”。该仪器还用于开发有机化学应用的新合成方法，并用于鉴定具有定制结构和序列的大分子。此外，该奖项还允许对金属自由基催化中使用的物种进行表征，并了解微生物群落中的分子相互作用。该奖项反映了NSF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。
