项目摘要

Progress in Chemical sciences relies on high-quality instrumentation for characterisation of new molecules and materials (what are they?) and measurement of their properties (what do they do?). The chemistry department in Sheffield has an ageing suite of instruments across the four areas of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography and atomic-level microscopy; these are now old / unreliable and their performance when working is far behind the current state of the art.In the 2008 REF exercise the department was ranked 9= in the UK, with 70% of research outputs assessed being graded 'internationally leading' or 'internationally significant'. The new facilities will allow the department both to (i) maintain existing capability - without which we cannot function - as well as (ii) to provide new capability to support established strengths as well as new activities. The new suite of instruments that this grant will provide will underpin an extensive range of projects across all areas of synthetic, catalytic, supramolecular, materials, biological and medicinal chemistry that are in turn supported by a wide variety of RCUK and industrial grants. The investment will provide the knowledge generation and highly trained individuals required by UK industry as well as supporting the cutting-edge fundamental investigations required to keep UK chemistry at the forefront of world research. The department's research portfolio that will benefit includes both fundamental and applied science and includes many areas that have been identified as of major societal important and strategic importance. These include key areas such as healthcare (from new medicines to materials for tissue engineering), energy (polymeric materials and light-harvesting complexes for photovoltaic cells), catalysis (homogeneous, heterogeneous, supramolecular and biological), all of which is underpinned by design / synthesis / development of new compounds and materials. Every aspect of the department's research will benefit in some way from the new facilities.

化学科学的进步依赖于高质量的仪器来表征新分子和材料（它们是什么？）他们的行为是什么？他们的行为是什么？谢菲尔德的化学系拥有一套老化的仪器，涵盖核磁共振光谱、质谱、X射线晶体学和原子级显微镜四个领域;这些现在都是旧的/不可靠的，他们的工作时的表现远远落后于目前的最先进的水平。在2008年的REF演习部门排名9=在英国，70%的研究成果被评为“国际领先”或“国际重要性”。新设施将使该部门能够（i）维持现有的能力-没有这些能力，我们就无法运作-以及（ii）提供新的能力，以支持现有的优势和新的活动。该赠款将提供的新仪器套件将支持合成，催化，超分子，材料，生物和药物化学所有领域的广泛项目，这些项目反过来又得到各种RCUK和工业赠款的支持。该投资将提供英国工业所需的知识生成和训练有素的人员，并支持使英国化学保持在世界研究前沿所需的尖端基础研究。该部门的研究组合，将受益于包括基础和应用科学，并包括已被确定为具有重大社会重要性和战略重要性的许多领域。这些包括关键领域，如医疗保健（从新药到组织工程材料），能源（聚合物材料和光伏电池的捕光复合物），催化（均相，非均相，超分子和生物），所有这些都是由新化合物和材料的设计/合成/开发支撑的。该系研究工作的各个方面都将在某种程度上受益于这些新设施。
