Upgrade of a 270 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer to Include Solids and Wideline Capabilities

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的合同将使怀俄明大学化学系能够购买一台270MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。该设备将主要由初级教员Jeffery L. Yarger使用，他的研究重点是材料表征和动力学阐明。研究项目包括纳米晶核磁共振表征、光泵浦、固体核磁共振表征聚合碱- c60连通性、新型富勒烯（如C36）的基础研究、超压液体和CMR材料的高压表征。固态核磁共振除材料化学外，还应用于许多科学领域，如地质学、物理学和生物学。因此，必须让学生接触到各种核磁共振技术。因此，Yarger博士将把现代固体核磁共振光谱学纳入本科化学课程。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will enable the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyoming to purchase a 270MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This equipment will be used primarily by junior faculty member Jeffery L. Yarger, whose research focuses on materials characterization and dynamics elucidation. Research projects include nanocrystalline NMR characterization, optical pumping, polymerized alkali-C60 connectivity elucidated by solid state NMR, fundamental research on new fullerenes, such as C36, and high pressure characterization of super-pressed liquids and CMR materials. Solid state NMR has uses in many scientific fields besides materials chemistry, such as geology, physics, and biology. It is imperative then, that students be exposed to various NMR techniques. Thus, Dr. Yarger will incorporate modern solids NMR spectroscopy into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum.
