Acquisition of CCD Detector System

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施项目的合同将帮助普渡大学化学系获得CCD探测器系统。这种设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：(1)均相芳烃加氢催化剂，(2)还原二氧化碳的三核镍簇电催化剂，(3)天然和非天然产物的全合成，(4)CCD探测器在旋转阳极上的制药应用，(5)沸石包合化合物的结构研究。x射线衍射仪用于精确测量分子的完整三维结构。所获得的信息给出了给定分子的所有键距和键角的精确值，并给出了分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University in acquiring a CCD Detector System. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) homogeneous arene hydrogenation catalysts, (2) trinuclear nickel cluster electrocatalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide, (3) total synthesis of natural and unnatural products, (4) pharmaceutical applications of a CCD detector on a rotating anode, and (5) structural studies of zeolite inclusion compounds The X-ray diffractometer is used to make accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule. The information obtained gives the precise values of all the bond distances and bond angles of a given molecule and it gives accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules.
