Purchase and Upgrade of Solid State NMR Instrumentation for Materials Chemistry and Geosciences

有了这项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的奖项，纽约州立大学石溪分校化学系将获得一台用于材料化学和地球科学的500 MHz固态NMR光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够进行以下研究：a）阴离子导电性、锂离子电池和催化剂的研究; B）新的阳离子和阴离子交换材料的表征; c）新的富碳化合物和纳米管; d）固体氧化物燃料电池膜; e）硅酸盐玻璃中的金属掺杂; f）模拟地幔相的材料。 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之一。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。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对地球科学和材料科学产生影响。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at SUNY-Stony Brook will acquire a 500 MHz solid state NMR Spectrometer for materials chemistry and geosciences. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out research on a) studies of anionic conductivity, lithium-ion batteries and catalysts; b) characterization of new cation and anion-exchange materials; c) new carbon rich compounds and nanotubes; d) membranes for solid oxide fuel cells; e) metal doping in silicate glasses; and f) materials that mimic phases in the earth's mantle. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools 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 earth science and materials science.
