Computer Upgrade and Networking of Multi-User Spectroscopic Instrumentation

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的奖励将帮助南达科他州大学化学系升级他们的计算机和网络多用户光谱仪器。该设备将加强研究，其主要应用将集中在以下领域：(1)在微观域内成像表面结合荧光标签，(2)CsM(II)X3宿主中分离镧系（III）离子对能量转移机制的补充实验和理论研究，(3)羰基化合物烯醇化的研究，特别是结构效应和亲电催化。(4)新型金表面自组装异氰化物单分子膜的光谱与表征。快速、现代化的计算机工作站网络是满足化学部门计算需求的新途径。这样的“计算机网络”还可以作为新的理论代码和算法的开发环境，提供最先进的图形和可视化设施，并支持并行处理应用的研究。＊＊＊

*** 9709014 KOPPANG This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at University of South Dakota upgrade their computer and network multi-user spectroscopic instrumentation. This equipment will enhance research in which the primary applications will center in the following areas (1) imaging surface-bound fluorescent tags within microscopic domains, (2) a complementary experimental and theoretical study of energy transfer mechanisms for isolated lanthanide(III)-ion pairs in CsM(II)X3 hosts, (3) studies of the enolization of carbonyl compounds, partucularly structural effects and electrophilic catalysis, and (4) spectroscopy and characterization of novel self-assembled isocyanide monolayers on gold. A network of fast, modern computer workstations is a new way to satisfy the computing needs of chemistry departments. Such a "computer network" also serves as a development environment for new theoretical codes and algorithms, provides state-of-art graphics and visualization facilities, and supports research in applications of parallel processing. ***
