MRI: Acquisition of an NMR Console, Probe, and Autosampler to Advance Undergraduate Research and Education

该奖项由主要研究仪器和化学研究仪器项目联合支持。伊萨卡学院正在购买一个升级的控制台和400兆赫核磁共振光谱仪的探头，以支持斯科特·乌尔里希教授和同事迈克尔·p·哈夫和安娜·拉森的研究。该仪器促进了聚合物科学、无机化学和药物化学领域的研究。总的来说，核磁共振（NMR）波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，以及研究溶液或固体状态下分子之间相互作用的动力学。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。该仪器加强了伊萨卡学院化学系各级学生的教育、研究和教学工作，并为附近的机构提供了可访问性。该工具通过建立的外展计划增加了本科生和高中生的多样化代表。400兆赫核磁共振光谱仪升级的奖励旨在加强各级本科生的研究和教育，特别是在聚合物，有机金属和药物化学等领域。该仪器的研究主要集中在发现具有固有微孔隙的聚合物，以及手性丙交酯聚合物催化剂的表征。其他研究包括铱和铑钳形复合物的合成以及针对细菌信号酶和癌细胞代谢的药物化学。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 jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Programs. Ithaca College is acquiring an upgraded console and probe for a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer to support the research of Professor Scott Ulrich and colleagues Michael P. Haaf and Anna Larsen. This instrument facilitates research in the areas of polymer science, inorganic chemistry, and medicinal chemistry. 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. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. This instrument enhances the educational, research, and teaching efforts of students at all levels in the Chemistry Department at Ithaca College as well as provides accessibility for use at nearby institutions. This instrument enables increased diverse representation of undergraduate and high school students through established outreach programs.The award of the 400 MHz NMR spectrometer upgrade is aimed at enhancing undergraduate research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as polymer, organometallic, and medicinal chemistry. The instrument impacts research focused on discovering polymers of intrinsic microporosity, and on the characterization of chiral lactide polymer catalysts. Other investigations include the synthesis of iridium and rhodium pincer complexes and medicinal chemistry targeting bacterial signaling enzymes and cancer cell metabolism.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.
