Upgrade of a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer

有了化学研究仪器和设施(CRIF)计划的这一奖项，佛罗里达大学化学系将升级一台300 MHz核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够开展以下方面的研究：a)环烷二萜类化合物；b)化学酶法合成；c)6族亚胺二胺络合物的有机金属化学；d)核酸化学；e)连接的酚氧配体作为制备大结构的刚性平台；以及f)碳硅烷/硅氧烷嵌段聚合物的合成。核磁共振波谱是化学家用来解释分子结构的最有力的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，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。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对包括生物化学和材料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 the University of Florida will upgrade a 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies on a) cyathane diterpenoids; b) chemoenzymatic synthesis; c) organometallic chemistry of group 6 imido diamide complexes; d) nucleic acid chemistry; e) linked phenoxide ligands as rigid platforms for the preparation of large constructs; and f) synthesis of carbosilane/siloxane segmented polymers. 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 spectrometers 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 biochemistry and materials chemistry.
