Purchase of a 300-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格斯大学化学系购买一台300兆赫的核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。这种设备将加强若干领域的研究，例如：(1)过渡金属的合成促进了碳氢化合物的官能化，(2)天然产物的合成，(3)为机理研究而合成生物感兴趣的有机物种，(4)反应中间体如碳烯的化学反应，(5)有毒磷酸盐的破坏，(6)表面活性剂聚集体在分子水平上的结构和稳定性，以及(7)自由基阳离子反应性。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 Rutgers University to purchase a 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas such as the following: (1) the synthesis of transition-metal promoted functionalization of hydrocarbons, (2) the synthesis of natural products, (3) the synthesis of organic species of biological interest for mechanistic studies, (4) the chemistry of reactive intermediates such as carbenes, (5) the destruction of toxic phosphonates, (6) the structure and stability of surfactant aggregates at a molecular level, and (7) radical cation reactivity. 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
