Acquisition of a 4.7 Tesla Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的支持下，麻省理工学院化学系将获得一台傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱仪（FTICR-MS）。该设备将加强以下研究：a)联苯基单膦配体的钯(0)配合物；B)有机合成的周环反应；C)不对称催化；D)质子耦合电子转移；E)不对称复合反应；F)多个金属-碳键；G)烯烃活性聚合的新催化剂；H)用于二氮还原的新配体和配合物；i)液晶和共轭聚合物。质谱（MS）是一种用于探测内部结构细节和获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology will acquire a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer (FTICR-MS). This equipment will enhance the following research studies: a) palladium (0) complexes of biphenyl-based monophosphine ligands; b) pericyclic reactions for organic synthesis; c) asymmetric catalysis; d) proton-coupled electron transfer; e) asymmetric metathesis reactions; f) multiple metal-carbon bonds; g) new catalysts for living olefin polymerizations; h) new ligands and complexes for dinitrogen reduction; and i) liquid crystals and conjugated polymers. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic, and organometallic molecules.
