Fluorine probehead and accessories for solid-state NMR spectrometer

该提案要求为拉瓦尔大学化学系的Bruker Avance 400固态核磁共振仪购买三重共振氟探头提供资金。这个探测器将允许测量具有质子去耦合的固态~(19)F核磁共振谱。此外，该设备还可以访问几个1H/19F/X(X=N-C)三重共振实验。该探头将被M.Auger、F.Kleitz、J.-F.Morin、T.Ollevier、J.-F.Paquin和A.M.Ritcey研究小组的学生和博士后研究员广泛使用。将利用该设备研究的研究项目包括使用氟化脂作为膜拓扑结构的探针，膜中肽结构和齐聚的测定，稀土氟化物纳米颗粒的研究，固态工作的纳米机械的表征，功能性介孔和介孔材料的开发，以及新型Lewis酸催化剂的合成。

This proposal requests funding for the purchase of a triple resonance fluorine probehead for the Bruker Avance 400 solid-state NMR spectrometer in the Department of Chemistry at Université Laval. This probehead will allow the measurement of solid-state 19F NMR spectra with proton decoupling. In addition, several triple resonance experiments 1H/19F/X (X = N-C) will be accessible with this equipment. This probehead will be used extensively by the students and postdoctoral fellows of the research groups of M. Auger, F. Kleitz, J.-F. Morin, T. Ollevier, J.-F. Paquin and A.M. Ritcey. Examples of research projects that will be investigated with this equipment include the use of fluorinated lipids as probes of membrane topology, the determination of peptide structure and oligomerization in membranes, the study of lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles, the characterization of nanomachines working in the solid-state, the development of functional mesostructured and mesoporous materials and the synthesis of new Lewis acid catalysts.
