Purchase of a High-Field NMR

该奖项来自化学研究仪器项目，将帮助巴克内尔大学化学系获得一台300 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，该光谱仪将用于以下化学领域的研究：大麻素及其类似物的合成，不对称环烯酮的合成，杂二烯的环加成，有机金属化学，邻醌酰亚胺与杂环体系的环加成反应，以及脂氧合酶抑制剂的制备。核磁共振光谱学是化学家用来研究分子结构的最有力的工具。它用于识别未知物质，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。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱学对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物和催化以及生物学等领域都很有用。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at Bucknell University, an undergraduate institution, acquire a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer which will be used in research investigations in the following areas of chemistry: synthesis of cannabionoids and analogs, asymmetric cycloalkenone synthesis, cycloadditions of heterodienes, organometallic chemistry, cycloaddition reactions of o-quinone monimides with heterocyclic systems, and preparation of inhibitors of lipoxygenase. 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. The results from these NMR studies are useful in areas such as polymers and catalysis, and in biology.
