Purchase of 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的合同将帮助罗彻斯特大学化学系获得一台400 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)生物有机化学，(2)涉及活性中间体的有机反应机制，(3)离子自由基的反应性，(4)对氢诱导极化，(5)光诱导电子转移反应。核磁共振（NMR）波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。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。这些核磁共振研究的结果在聚合物、催化和生物学等领域是有用的。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of Rochester in acquiring a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) bioorganic chemistry, (2) mechanisms of organic reactions involving reactive intermediates, (3) reactivity of ion radicals, (4) parahydrogen induced polarization, and (5) photoinduced electron transfer reactions. 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, catalysis, and in biology.
