This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Programs. The State University of New York - Buffalo is acquiring a diffractometer with a high brilliance microfocus Cu source and a hybrid photon counting detector to support the research of Professor Jason Benedict and colleagues Timothy Cook, David Lacy, Janet Morrow, and Mark Swihart. In general, an X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three-dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of a molecule relative to neighboring molecules. The studies described here impact many areas, including organic and inorganic chemistry, catalysis, and materials chemistry. 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. The reach of the instrumentation will include existing research and teaching programs at UB and some collaborative efforts with nearby institutions (D’Youville College, Saint Bonaventure University, and Buffalo State College).The award is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. Research enabled by the instrument is focused on the study and characterization of a wide variety of substances including photoactive crystalline materials especially in metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and in pharmaceutical co-crystals, determining the structure of self-assembled co-facial porphyrin catalysts and photoactive metallocages, characterization of new MOFs containing antibiotic linkers and high entropy metal oxides prepared by flame-based aerosol reactors. Researchers will also explore the structures of paramagnetic transition metal complexes used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probes, the structures of air sensitive organometallic catalysts, especially Mn and Ru complexes.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.

该奖项由主要的研究工具和化学研究工具计划共同支持。纽约州立大学 - 布法罗（Buffalo）正在获得具有高光彩的微量焦点源和混合光子计数检测器的衍射仪，以支持杰森·本尼迪克特教授和同事提摩太·库克，戴维·莱西，珍妮特·莫罗和马克·斯威哈特的研究。通常，X射线衍射仪可以准确，精确地测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距离和角度，并提供有关分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的准确信息。这里描述的研究影响了许多领域，包括有机和无机化学，催化和材料化学。该工具是该机构化学和生物化学的本科生和研究生的教学和研究培训的组成部分。该工具的范围将包括UB的现有研究和教学计划以及与近机构（D'Youville College，Saint Bonaventure University和Buffalo State College）的一些合作努力。该奖项旨在增强各级研究和教育。 Research enabled by the instrument is focused on the study and characterization of a wide variety of Substances include photoactive crystalline materials especially in metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and in pharmaceutical co-crystals, determining the structure of self-assembled co-facial porphyrin catalysts and photoactive metallicolocages, characterization of new MOFs containing antibiotic linkers and high entropy metal oxides prepared by flame-based aerosol反应堆。研究人员还将探索用作磁共振成像（MRI）问题，空气敏感的有机催化剂的结构，尤其是MN和RU复合物的结构。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估基金会的知识功能和广泛的影响来评估NSF的支持。
