Purchase of a Superconducting NMR

核磁共振波谱是一种非降解技术，用于确定分子中原子的位置和相互作用。化学部门依靠核磁共振仪器来加强许多化学领域的前沿研究。这份来自化学仪器项目的合同将帮助位于印第安纳波利斯的印第安纳大学-普渡大学化学系获得一台200mhz核磁共振光谱仪。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：1)部分不饱和六元环及相关氢芳烃化合物的核磁共振构象分析2)二芳基阴离子的核磁共振构象和结构分析3)结构多样化α -氨基酸的合成4)多相介质有机合成5)过渡金属配合物分子结构与电化学反应性关系的电化学和光谱研究

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a non-degradative technique used to determine the positions and mutual interactions of atoms in molecules. Chemistry departments depend on NMR instrumentation for the enhancement of front-line research in a number of areas of chemistry. This award from the Chemical Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry of Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis to acquire a 200 MHz NMR spectrometer. The areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by this acquisition include the following: 1) NMR conformational analysis of partially unsaturated six- membered rings and related hydroaromatic compounds 2) NMR conformational and structural analysis of diaryl anions 3) Synthesis of structurally diversified alpha-amino acids 4) Organic synthesis utilizing multiple-phase media 5) Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies of the relationships between the molecular structure and electrochemical reactivity of transition metal complexes
