Acquisition of a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer

核磁共振波谱是化学家用来阐明分子结构的最有力的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振波谱是必不可少的。这项来自化学共享仪器计划的奖项将帮助加州大学欧文分校化学系获得一台高场核磁共振光谱仪。此次收购将加强的研究领域包括：1)过渡金属有机金属化学2)低聚糖的结构化学；3)甾体的全合成；生物碱、神经毒素、抗生素和海洋天然产物4)离子-溶剂相互作用的基础研究5)有机稀土和有机钛化学6)低聚硅硅氧烷的化学

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available to the chemist for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances, characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solution. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectroscopy is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. This award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program will help the Chemistry Department of the University of California, Irvine to acquire a high-field NMR spectrometer. The areas of research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include: 1) Transition metal organometallic chemistry 2) Structural chemistry of oligosaccharides 3) Total synthesis of steroids, alkaloids, neurotoxins, antibiotics, and marine natural products 4) Fundamental studies of ion-solvent interactions 5) Organolanthanide and organoyttrium chemistry 6) Chemistry of oligomellasilsequioxanes
