The Acquisition of a Pulsed 60 MHz FT-NMR Spectrometer

这项来自学术研究基础设施计划的奖励将帮助特拉华州州立大学的化学系获得一台将用于研究的脉冲60 MHz NMR光谱仪。 拟支助的研究活动包括各种过渡金属络合物的特性鉴定、有机结构的化学解析、利用核磁共振作为法医化学的确认工具以及处理硼络合物不稳定性的动力学研究。 核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家用来阐明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。 对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱分析技术是必不可少的。 这些NMR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 Academic Research infrastructure Program will help the Department of Chemistry at Delaware State University acquire a Pulsed 60 MHz NMR spectrometer which will be used in research. The research activity to be supported includes the characterization of various transition metal complexes, the chemical elucidation of organic structures, the use of NMR as a confirmation tool in forensic chemistry, and in kinetic studies dealing with the instability of boron complexes. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most powerful tool available to 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 interactions 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 the areas such as polymers and catalysis, and in biology.
