Purchase of a 300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

化学研究仪器计划的这一奖项将帮助达特茅斯学院化学系获得一台300 MHz光谱仪，该光谱仪将用于研究调查，涉及以下领域的项目：1.聚插层剂的合成及其与DNA的结合性能2.过渡金属氟碳配体配合物的合成与结构研究3.氟碳化合物的合成和性质。4.甾体生物合成与生物化学5.海洋天然产物的合成及反应进展6.铬(VI)与DNA和Thoil的相互作用。核磁共振波谱是化学家用来解释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的相互作用动力学。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光谱是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物和裂解等领域以及生物学中都是有用的。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at Dartmouth College acquire a 300 MHz spectrometer which will be used in research investigations which involved in projects from the following areas: 1. Synthesis and DNA Binding Properties of Polyintercalators. 2. Synthesis and Structural Studies of Fluorocarbon-Ligand Complexes With Transition Metals. 3. Synthesis and Properties of Fluorocarbons. 4. Steriod Biosynthesis and Biochemistry 5. Synthesis of Marine Natural Products and Reaction Development. 6. Chromium (VI) Interactions With DNA and Thoils. %%% Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available to th chemists 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 interations between molecules in solution. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometry is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies are useful in areas such as polymers and catlysis, and in biology.
