MRI: Acquisition of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer for Cyber Facilitated Regional Use

与此从主要研究仪器计划（MRI）奖，教授马克W。Severson和来自奥克兰大学的同事阿曼达·布莱恩特-弗里德里希、罗曼·登宾斯基将获得一台配备多核功能的400 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。 NMR的收购将影响化学以及生物，生物无机和辐射化学以及化学毒理学的研究。这种仪器将有助于整合研究和教育，并将为科学界的成员开辟新的研究途径，不仅在奥克兰大学，而且在密歇根州东南部。奥克兰大学与邻近的社区学院和大学之间的关系促进了创纪录数量的代表密歇根州东南部许多种族和文化群体的学生参与科学事业。核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家用来阐明分子结构的最强大的工具之一。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NMR研究的结果将对合成有机/无机化学和生物化学产生影响。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation program (MRI), Professor Mark W. Severson and colleagues Amanda Bryant-Friedrich, Roman Dembinski from Oakland University will acquire a 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with multinuclear capabilities. The acquisition of the NMR will impact research in chemistry as well as biological, bioinorganic and radiation chemistry, and chemical toxicology. This instrumentation will aid in integrating research and education and will open new research avenues for members of the scientific community not only at Oakland University but also within Southeastern Michigan. The relationship between Oakland University and its neighboring community colleges and universities has facilitated the involvement of a record number of students representing many ethnic and cultural groups represented in southeastern Michigan in the scientific enterprise.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 synthetic organic/inorganic chemistry and biochemistry.
