Acquisition of single crystal X-ray diffraction equipment at Syracuse University

有了化学研究仪器和设施：多用户(CRIF：MU)项目颁发的这一奖项，来自锡拉丘兹大学的Karin Ruhlandt-Senger教授和他的同事Jon Zubieta将获得配备低温设备的单源单晶X射线衍射仪。该建议旨在加强各级的研究培训和教育，特别是在下列研究领域：(A)新试剂、聚合引发剂和超强碱；(B)有机/无机杂化材料的固态配位化学；(C)太赫兹(远红外，200波数)振动光谱的使用；(D)无机焦磷酸盐的研究；(E)半导体量子点前体络合物的单晶X射线分析；(F)利用低能量、近红外光子产生光电流的太阳能电池设计；X射线衍射仪可以准确和精确地测量分子的全部三维结构，包括键距离和角度，并提供关于分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。这里描述的研究将影响许多领域，包括有机化学和无机化学、材料化学和生物化学。该仪器将是教学和研究的组成部分，也将提供给当地学术机构用于研究和教学目的，包括勒莫因学院、纽约州立大学奥农达加社区学院、纽约州立大学科特兰分校、纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校、国王学院和汉密尔顿学院。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multi-user (CRIF:MU) program, Professor Karin Ruhlandt-Senge and colleague Jon Zubieta from Syracuse University will acquire a single-source single crystal X-ray diffractometer equipped with a low temperature device. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education at all levels, especially in areas of study such as (a) new reagents, polymerization initiators and superbases, (b) solid-state coordination chemistry of organic/inorganic hybrid materials (c) use of terahertz (far-infrared, 200 wavenumbers) vibrational spectroscopy, (d) studies of inorganic pyrophosphate, (e) single crystal X-ray analysis of semiconductive quantum dot precursor complexes (f) solar cell design that produce photocurrent from low-energy, near-IR photons, as well as (g) molecular mechanisms for the assembly and regulation for the MLLI core complex.An X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of a molecule relative to neighboring molecules. The studies described here will impact a number of areas, including organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research and will also be available to local academic institutions for research and teaching purposes, including LeMoyne College, SUNY Onondaga Community College, SUNY Cortland, SUNY Oswego, King's College and Hamilton College.
