Acquisition of a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目和多学科活动办公室（OMA）的合同将协助里彭学院化学系购买一台300 MHz核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将加强许多领域的研究，包括戊二酰辅酶a脱氢酶的电子转移特性表征和取代反应中亲核试剂的反应性研究。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 and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) will assist the Department of Chemistry at Ripon College in the purchase of a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including characterization of the electron transfer properties of the enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase and studies on the nucleophile reactivity in substitution 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.
