MRI: Acquisition of a Single-Crystal X-ray Diffractometer for Interdisciplinary Research and Enhanced Student Training Supporting Primarily Undergraduate Institutions in Georgia

该奖项由主要研究仪器和化学研究仪器计划共同支持。格鲁吉亚南方大学（GSU）正在购买配备高通量Cu X射线源、混合光子计数（HPC）探测器和低温设备的单晶衍射仪，以支持加里吉列及其同事克利福德·帕吉特（Clifford Padgett）、布兰登·奎利安（Brandon Quillian）和阿皮塔·萨哈（Arpita Saha）的研究。一般来说，X射线衍射仪允许准确和精确地测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度，并提供关于分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的准确信息。这里描述的研究影响了许多领域，包括有机化学，物理化学，无机化学，磁性材料和有机金属化学。有机和无机化学，材料化学和生物化学。该仪器是该机构及周边地区化学和生物化学本科生和研究生教学、研究和研究培训的组成部分。该设施作为一个区域XRD资源受益于学生和教师主要是本科院校在格鲁吉亚的状态与GSU以外的影响与PUI和HBCU机构，如萨凡纳州立大学（HBCU），奥尔巴尼州立大学（HBCU），北格鲁吉亚大学和格鲁吉亚学院的互动，该奖项旨在加强各级研究和教育。由该仪器实现的研究集中于研究和表征包含独特的金属-金属键合相互作用的新型扩展金属原子链络合物的结构、使用N-氧化物的卤素键合加合物、绿色氢化芳基化催化剂、和Mn簇合物，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估的支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Programs. Georgia Southern University (GSU) is acquiring single crystal diffractometer equipped with a high-flux Cu X-ray source, a Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector, and a cryogenic device to support the research of Gary Guillet and colleagues Clifford Padgett, Brandon Quillian, and Arpita Saha. In general, 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 impact many areas, including organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, magnetic materials, and organometallic chemistry. organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument is an integral part of teaching as well as research and research training of undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and biochemistry at this institution and the surrounding region. The facility serves as a regional XRD resource benefitting students and faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions within the state of Georgia with impacts outside GSU with interactions with PUI and HBCU institutions such as Savannah State University (HBCU), Albany State University (HBCU), University of North Georgia, and Georgia College.The award is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. Research enabled by the instrument is focused on the study and characterization of the structure of novel extended metal atom chain complexes that contain unique metal-metal bonding interactions, halogen-bonded adducts using N-oxides, green hydroarylation catalysts, and Mn cluster complexes with single-molecule magnetic properties.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
