Purchase of a Solid-State 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer

根据化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这份合同，德州农工大学化学系将获得一台400兆赫的固态多核核磁共振光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够进行以下研究：a)表面接枝凝胶和封装催化剂；B)金属膦酸盐化学；c)二氧化碳和环氧化物的共聚得到聚碳酸酯；D)基于四硫代烯的膦配体扩展阵列；e)多官能团路易斯酸的化学性质；f)多孔固体中的主客相互作用和局部结构。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仪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基础合成有机化学和新型聚合物的发展产生影响。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University will acquire a Solid-State 400 MHz Multinuclear NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out research on a) surface-grafted gels and encapsulated catalysts; b) metal phosphonate chemistry; c) copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides to provide polycarbonates; d) extended arrays with phosphine ligands based on tetrathiafulvalene; e) chemistry of polyfunctional Lewis acids; and f) guest-host interactions and local structure in porous solids. 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 fundamental synthetic organic chemistry and the development of novel polymers.
