Multinuclear Gradient Inverse Probe, Amplifier, and Overnight Low Temperature Dewar for High-Field NMR Spectroscopy in the Chemistry Department at Washington and Lee University

根据主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的这份合同，华盛顿和李大学化学系将为他们的400 MHz核磁共振光谱仪获得多核梯度逆探针、放大器和低温杜瓦瓶。该设备将使研究人员能够进行以下研究：a)在工业上重要的环境友好型催化氧化中具有重要意义的大环聚酰胺配合物；b)钌-碳烯基开环复分解聚合反应机理、茂锆催化聚合反应机理及聚合物主链动力学。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。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Washington and Lee University will acquire a multinuclear gradient inverse probe, amplifier, and low temperature Dewar for their 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies on a) macrocyclic polyamide complexes that are significant in industrially important environmentally friendly catalytic oxidations; and b) the mechanism of ruthenium-carbene based ring opening metathesis polymerization, zirconium metallocene-catalyzed polymerizations, and polymer backbone dynamics. 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.
