Purchase of a Routine High Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

这份来自化学研究仪器项目的合同将帮助威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的化学系获得一台300兆赫的核磁共振光谱仪。为了在生物无机、有机、有机金属和聚合物化学等领域继续开展研究项目，迫切需要这种新型光谱仪。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 the University of Wisconsin at Madison acquire a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. This new spectrometer is urgently needed in order to continue research programs in a number of areas supported by the NSF, including bio-inorganic, organic, organometallic, and polymer chemistry. 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.
