项目摘要

This proposal is for investment in the infrastructure for structural characterisation in EaStCHEM (Schools of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh). The utility of many chemicals and materials is intimately connected to their structural architecture, and knowledge of their structure is therefore vital in understanding how to maximise impact and to develop new cutting edge programmes in some of the most important areas of current scientific research. The investment will be in major techniques employed for structural characterisation, single crystal X-ray diffraction (StA), powder X-ray diffraction (StA), solid state NMR (StA), liquid state NMR (UoE), LC-MS (UoE), imaging/ion mobility MS (UoE), underpinning and enabling a significant proportion of the world-leading research in the joint School. Our vision is to invest heavily in both the infrastructure and training in structural science to provide increased capability for world-leading experiments that will underpin a wide range of our science that has both quality and breadth. The quality of the science that will be enabled through this investment (see below for details) covers science that fits into many of the EPSRC priority areas (e.g. catalysis, energy storage materials, healthcare technologies etc) and many of the Grand Challenge themes (e.g. Dial-a-molecule, Directed assembly of Extended Systems etc). Therefore the National Importance in this proposal is implicit in these EPSRC designations. However, we strive to provide an environment where the quality of the chemistry enabled by investment such as this has significant global impact, and includes specific aims of accelerating our impact on the non-academic world. To this end the EaStCHEM strategy looks to emphasise high impact research that enhances academic-industry interactions with the overall goal of enhancing the economic and social impact of chemistry research as well as promoting fundamental science of the highest possible quality. This strategy includes the development of strong training programmes for graduate students and industrial researchers based around the unique collection of available infrastructure and technical expertise. There are clear links between the proposed infrastructure and the important challenge themes in the EPSRC portfolio. The Energy, Healthcare Technologies and Manufacturing the Future are the three most pertinent themes which will be directly impacted by the research infrastructure. Within the themes there are many research areas that map directly with the proposed research - many of which have been identified for growth in EPSRC funding (e.g. catalysis, energy storage) as well as other important research areas scheduled for maintained funding (fuel cell technologies, synthetic coordination and supramolecular chemistry etc).

该提案旨在投资EaStCHEM（圣安德鲁斯大学和爱丁堡大学化学学院）的结构特征基础设施。许多化学品和材料的用途与它们的结构结构密切相关，因此，了解它们的结构对于理解如何在当前科学研究的一些最重要领域中最大限度地发挥影响和开发新的尖端方案至关重要。投资将用于结构表征的主要技术，单晶x射线衍射（StA），粉末x射线衍射（StA），固态核磁共振（StA），液态核磁共振（UoE）， LC-MS (UoE)，成像/离子迁移率质谱（UoE），支撑并使联合学院的世界领先的研究占很大比例。我们的愿景是大力投资结构科学的基础设施和培训，为世界领先的实验提供更高的能力，这将为我们的科学提供更广泛的质量和广度。通过这项投资（详见下文）将实现的科学质量涵盖了EPSRC许多优先领域（如催化、储能材料、医疗技术等）和许多大挑战主题（如拨分子、扩展系统的定向组装等）的科学。因此，该提案中的国家重要性隐含在这些EPSRC指定中。然而，我们努力提供一个环境，在这个环境中，像这样的投资所带来的化学质量具有重大的全球影响，并包括加速我们对非学术世界的影响的具体目标。为此，EaStCHEM的战略着眼于强调高影响力的研究，加强学术与行业的互动，提高化学研究的经济和社会影响的总体目标，以及促进最高质量的基础科学。这一战略包括为研究生和工业研究人员制定强有力的培训计划，这些计划以现有基础设施和技术专长的独特收集为基础。拟议的基础设施与EPSRC投资组合中的重要挑战主题之间存在明显的联系。能源、医疗保健技术和未来制造业是三个最相关的主题，它们将直接受到研究基础设施的影响。在这些主题中，有许多研究领域与提议的研究直接相关——其中许多已经被确定为EPSRC资助的增长（例如催化、能量存储），以及其他计划维持资助的重要研究领域（燃料电池技术、合成协调和超分子化学等）。
