Upgrade of a 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer For Chemical Research

获得化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的资助，杜兰大学化学系将升级一台400 MHz核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够表征a)新的主族化合物、有机金属化合物和天然产物；B)开发有机材料的新型有机前体；C)生物活性有机反应物；d)多金属过渡金属配合物。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，以及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将对包括材料化学和生物化学在内的许多领域产生影响。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Tulane University will upgrade a 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to characterize a) new main group compounds, organometallic compounds, and natural products; b) novel organic precursors for organic materials development; c) bioactive organic reactants; and d) multimetallic transition metal complexes. 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, to 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 will have an impact in a number of areas including materials chemistry and biochemistry.
