Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is our main way of identifying new chemical substances, and is an essential tool for modern chemistry. Provision of new NMR equipment will support research at the forefront of modern chemistry in diverse areas such as: development of NMR techniques (Morris); synthetic organic chemistry (Thomas, Clayden, Sutherland, Dixon, Procter); synthetic inorganic chemistry (Winpenny, Collison, Heath, McInnes, Faulkner, Coe); organic materials (Turner, Yeates, Skabara); mesoporous materials (Anderson). Goals include making the smallest possible magnets - individual molecules in which many electrons line up in parallel - for storage and processing of information; new NMR methods for analysing mixtures, for detecting brain damage in stroke patients, and for studying biomolecules; new synthetic organic chemistry designed to give us, amongst many other things, improved antibiotics and other drugs; studies of the molecular origin of life, and of the ways in which enzymes speed chemical reactions; designing and making new porous inorganic materials for fuel cells and environmentally-friendly catalysts; making molecules whose properties are changed by light, to make more efficient fuel cells; and measuring NMR spectra in solids to learn about the active sites in solid catalysts, gas sensors, and systems for cleaning waste water and nuclear effluent.

核磁共振是我们识别新化学物质的主要方法，也是现代化学的重要工具。提供新的核磁共振设备将支持不同领域现代化学前沿的研究，如：核磁共振技术的开发(Morris)；合成有机化学(Thomas、Clayden、Sutherland、Dixon、Procter)；合成无机化学(Winpenny、Colison、Heath、McInnes、Faulkner、Coe)；有机材料(Turner、Yeates、Skabara)；介孔材料(Anderson)。目标包括制造尽可能小的磁体--许多电子平行排列的单个分子--用于存储和处理信息；用于分析混合物的新的核磁共振方法，用于检测中风患者的脑损伤，以及用于研究生物分子；新的合成有机化学，旨在为我们提供许多改进的抗生素和其他药物；研究生命的分子起源，以及酶如何加速化学反应；设计和制造用于燃料电池和环境友好型催化剂的新型多孔无机材料；制造通过光改变性质的分子，以制造更高效的燃料电池；以及测量固体中的核磁共振光谱，以了解固体催化剂、气体传感器和净化废水和核废水的系统中的活性中心。
