Acquisition of an EPR Spectrometer at Southern Miss

有了化学研究仪器和设施：多用户计划(CRIF：MU)的这一奖项，南密西西比大学化学系将获得一台微型系列电子顺磁共振(EPR)光谱仪，用于有机自由基、顺磁性离子(生物和非生物)的配位络合物、磁性材料、聚合物、催化剂和活性中间体(如活性氧物种)的溶液和冻结基质研究。电子顺磁共振(EPR)光谱仪可获得有关分子的分子和电子结构的信息。它还可以用来获取有关自由基寿命的信息，自由基是一种寿命较短的物种，通常对启动肿瘤生长和/或各种化学反应至关重要。这些研究将在许多领域产生影响，从制造到材料和生物化学。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multi User program (CRIF:MU), the Department of Chemistry at Southern Mississippi University will acquire a micro series electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer for solution and frozen matrix investigations of organic radicals, coordination complexes of paramagnetic ions (both biological and non-biological), magnetic materials, polymers, catalysts, and reactive intermediates such as reactive oxygen species.An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer yields information on the molecular and electronic structure of molecules. It may also be used to obtain information about the lifetimes of free radicals, short-lived species that are often essential for the initiation of tumor growth and/or a variety of chemical reactions. These studies will have an impact in a number of areas, from manufacturing to materials and biological chemistry.
