Acquisition of a Cyber-Enabled 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer for Research, Education and Outreach at the University of Arizona.

在化学研究仪器和设施：多用户计划（CRIF:MU）的支持下，亚利桑那大学化学系将获得一台网络支持的400 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。该光谱仪将用于表征各种项目的合成中间体和最终产品，包括：过渡金属簇支持的超分子和材料；磁性纳米粒子与功能聚合物涂层；具有枝状侧链的有机光伏用液晶萘菁与膜和胶束复合的两亲性螺旋糖肽；硫自由基阳离子化学探针及制氢催化剂。核磁共振波谱是化学家广泛使用的分析溶液中溶解物质混合物的工具之一。它被用来鉴别未知的物质。它提供了分子和材料中原子的排列和连通性的信息，即它们的结构，通过检测原子的核自旋特性引起的能级之间的跃迁。这个分光仪将加强亚利桑那州许多促进本科生和研究生教学的项目。该仪器将由化学系的14个研究小组、本科教学计划、其他校园系的9个小组、亚利桑那州的两所社区学院以及墨西哥索诺拉的一所研究所和一所大学使用。远程访问和操作（网络启用）将是该仪器的一个特点，以提高使用和生产力。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multiuser program (CRIF:MU), the Department of Chemistry at the University of Arizona will acquire a cyber enabled 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The spectrometer will be used to characterize synthetic intermediates and final products for a wide variety of projects, including: transition metal cluster-supported supramolecules and materials; magnetic nanoparticles with functional polymer coatings; liquid crystalline naphthalocyanines with dendritic side-chains for organic photovoltaics; amphipathic helical glycopeptides that complex with membranes and micelles; probes of sulfur radical cation chemistry and catalysts for hydrogen production.Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the tools widely used by chemists to analyze mixtures of species dissolved in solution. It is used to identify unknown substances. It provides information on the arrangement and connectivity of atoms in molecules and materials i.e. their structures by detecting transitions between energy levels arising from the nuclear spin properties of atoms. This spectrometer will enhance many Arizona programs that promote teaching and learning of undergraduates and graduate students. The instrument will be used by 14 research groups in the Department of Chemistry, the undergraduate teaching program, 9 groups in other campus departments, two community colleges in Arizona and a research institute and a university in Sonora, Mexico. Remote access and operation (cyber-enabling) will be a feature of the instrument to enhance usage and productivity.
