MRI-R2: Acquisition of a Bruker 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer to Support Research at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）项目，来自威斯康星大学史蒂文斯角分校化学系的James Brummer教授及其同事Robert C. Badger、Nathan Bowling和John P. Droske将获得一台400 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，能够支持一维、二维、时间分辨和温度依赖的研究。该仪器将用于支持以下研究活动：1)调整Re(I)和W(0)配合物的发光特性；2)协调驱动的乙烯基平面化；含二硫交联剂聚合物的合成与表征；4)合成吲哚生物碱天然产物及前药的结构解析；5)金属-金属四键配合物的研究；6)锗配位化合物和纳米锗的研究；7)用离子液体在金刚石表面沉积纳米线。核磁共振（NMR）波谱是化学家用来研究分子结构的最有力的工具之一。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，以及研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对合成有机/无机化学、材料化学和生物化学产生影响。该仪器将成为教学和研究的一个组成部分。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program Professor James Brummer and colleagues Robert C. Badger, Nathan Bowling, and John P. Droske from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer capable of supporting one-dimensional, two-dimensional, time-resolved, and temperature-dependent studies. The instrument will be used to support research activities such as: 1) tuning luminescence properties of Re(I) and W(0) complexes; 2) coordination driven planarization of aryleneethynylenes; 3) synthesis and characterization of polymers containing disulfide crosslinkers; 4) structural elucidation of synthesized indole alkaloidal natural products and prodrugs; 5) study of metal-metal quadruply bonded complexes; 6) study of germanium coordination compounds and germanium nanoparticles; and 7) deposition of nanowires onto diamond surfaces using ionic liquids.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, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.
