Upgrade of a Varian EM390 permanent magnet CW instrument to a FT-NMR (RUI)

凭借化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这一奖项，罗克赫斯特大学化学系将把永磁CW NMR仪器升级为FT-NMR。这些设备将使研究人员能够进行天然产品合成和药物化学方面的研究。 核磁共振（NMR）光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。 对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱仪是必不可少的。这所本科院校的广大学生将从升级中受益，因为研究人员计划将光谱仪整合到课程中。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Rockhurst University will upgrade a permanent magnet CW NMR instrument to a FT-NMR. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies in natural products synthesis and medicinal chemistry. 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. A broad spectrum of students at this undergraduate institution will benefit from the upgrade since the investigators plan to integrate the spectrometer into coursework.
