Purchase of a High Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

核磁共振（NMR）光谱是最 化学家可以用来阐明 分子的结构 它用于识别未知 物质，表征内部原子的特定排列 分子，并研究相互作用的动力学之间 溶液中的分子。 获得最先进的NMR 光谱学对于化学家和生物学家来说是必不可少的 前沿研究。 这个RUI奖从化学仪器计划， 仪器仪表发展计划和 材料研究计划的仪器将由 圣何塞州立大学化学系 帮我弄到一台高场核磁共振光谱仪 领域 此次收购将加强的研究包括 以下内容： 1)低维固体的研究 2)折叠过程中中间体的观察 带有质子、碳-13和氮-15的核糖核酸酶A 磁共振 3)多氟芳基聚合物和多氟芳基- 硅氧烷共聚物 4)金属-蛋白质复合物及其化学键合的研究 固定相 5)镧系元素和锕系元素配位化学。

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 and biologists carrying out frontier research. This RUI award from the Chemical Instrumentation Program, the Instrumentation and Instrument Development Program and the Instrumentation for Materials Research Program will be used by the Department of Chemistry at San Jose State University to help acquire a high-field NMR spectrometer. The areas of research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include the following: 1) Studies of low dimensional solids 2) Observations of intermediates in the folding of ribonuclease A with proton, carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 magnetic resonance 3) Synthesis of polyfluoroaryl polymers and polyfluoroaryl- siloxane copolymers 4) Studies of metal-protein complexes and chemically bonded stationary phases 5) Lanthanide and actinide coordination chemistry.
