MRI: Acquisition of a 400 MHz FT-NMR For Undergraduate Research and Education

在主要研究仪器(MRI)计划的支持下，查尔斯顿南方大学化学系将获得一台400 MHz傅立叶变换核磁共振(FT-核磁共振)光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够进行新型吡唑甲烷配体体系的合成、新型核苷转运抑制剂的合成以及过渡金属配合物中的化学交换和流变性的研究。核磁共振光谱是化学家可以用来阐明分子结构的最强大的工具之一。它被用来识别未知物质，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。对于正在进行前沿研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对许多领域产生影响，特别是合成化学。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Charleston Southern University will acquire a 400 MHz Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies on syntheses of novel pyrazolyl methane ligand systems, novel nucleoside transport inhibitors as well as studying the chemical exchange and fluxionality in transition metal coordination complexes.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 a number of areas, especially synthetic chemistry.
