MRI: Acquisition of a Multi-User Single-Crystal/Powder X-ray Diffractometer

在主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的支持下，维拉诺瓦大学化学系将获得单晶/粉末X射线衍射仪。该仪器将促进以下领域的研究：a）纳米颗粒及其组装的光学和化学性质; B）八面体络合物上的反式跨越配体的合成、结构表征和反应性; c）有机合成和碳水化合物化学; d）用于不对称催化的手性过渡金属络合物; e）TRPV 1的细胞质片段的结构;和f）均相齐格勒-纳塔聚合X-射线衍射仪允许精确和精确地测量分子的全部三维结构，包括键距和角度，并且它提供关于分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的精确信息。这些研究将在许多领域产生影响，特别是聚合物合成和纳米科学。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Villanova University will acquire a single-crystal/powder X-ray diffractometer. This instrument will facilitate studies in the following areas: a) optical and chemical properties of nanoparticles and their assembly; b) the synthesis, structural characterization, and reactivity of trans-spanning ligands on octahedral complexes; c) Organic Synthesis and Carbohydrate Chemistry; d) Chiral transition metal complexes for asymmetric catalysis; e) the structure of cytoplasmic fragments of TRPV1; and f) homogeneous Ziegler-Natta polymerization The X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and it provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas, especially polymer synthesis and nanoscience.
