Purchase of a Rotating Anode Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction System

这份来自化学研究仪器项目的合同将帮助克莱姆森大学化学系购买一台自动单晶衍射仪。该仪器将加强致力于开发新型无机材料的研究项目，如多功能氟化离聚体及其片层状和沸石状金属衍生物、可溶性锌阴离子、混合价金属聚合物、以及包合物的液体包合物和宿主分子。单晶x射线晶体学是测定固体结构最有效的分析方法。在合成无机、有机、生物无机和有机金属化学中，单晶x射线衍射是表征分子结构的宝贵工具。从分子组成和结构的知识中获得的信息有助于开发催化或合成中潜在的普遍感兴趣的新反应。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at Clemson University purchase an automated single-crystal diffractometer. The instrument will enhance research programs which are pursuing the development of new inorganic materials, such as multifunctional fluorinated ionomers and their lamellar and zeolite-like metal derivatives, soluble zintl anions, mixed valence metallopolymers, and liquid clathrates and host molecules for inclusion compounds. %%% Single crystal x-ray crystallography is the most powerful analytical method for structures determination of solids. In synthetic inorganic, organic, bioinorganic and organometallic chemistry, single crystal x-ray diffraction is an invaluable tool to characterize molecular structure. The information gained from the knowledge of the molecular composition and structure helps to develop new reactions of potentially general interest in catalysis or synthesis.
