MRI: Acquisition of a 300 MHz Solid State NMR Probe

在重大研究仪器(MRI)收购计划的支持下，位于卡本代尔的南伊利诺伊大学化学和生物化学系将获得一个300 MHz的固态探头。该仪器支持的研究包括各种新材料的合成和表征，包括有机薄膜、含电荷转移络合物的金属膦酸盐、固态主客体材料、可溶性半导体基(IV)金属主链聚合物、催化用纳米颗粒、荧光传感器和纳米线。该仪器还将支持化学生物学方面的研究活动。核磁共振波谱是化学家用于阐明分子结构的最广泛使用的工具。它被用来识别未知物质，并提供有关分子中原子的排列和连接性的信息。这一奖项将允许研究人员通过这种技术研究固体材料。它将加强化学系的有机、无机和生物材料研究活动。核磁共振仪器将被教师、博士后研究员、研究生和本科生用于他们的研究，并将被纳入本科实验室课程的实验。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Acquisition Program, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will obtain a 300 MHz solid state probe. The research supported by this instrumentation includes the synthesis and characterization of a variety of new materials, including organic thin films, metal phosphonates containing charge-transfer complexes, solid-state host-guest materials, soluble semi-conducting group(IV) metal backbone polymers, nanoparticles for catalysis, fluorescent sensors, and nanowires. The instrumentation will also support research activities in the biological aspects of chemistry. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most broadly used tool available to chemists for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances and to provide information on the arrangement and connectivity of atoms in molecules. This award will allow researchers to study solid materials by this technique. It will strengthen the organic, inorganic and biological materials research activities of the Department of Chemistry. The NMR instrumentation will be used by faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students in their research and it will be incorporated into experiments in undergraduate lab courses.
