Solid-state NMR Research Service for UK Universities

固体核磁共振是表征和研究固体材料的重要技术，无论它们是均匀的还是非均匀的，是结晶的还是非结晶的。它可以应用于广泛的化学领域，包括新型有机，无机，有机金属和混合化合物，聚合物（天然和合成），燃料，药物和赋形剂，复合材料，陶瓷，催化剂，液晶和生物基系统。该提案是关于固态核磁共振（NMR）研究服务的。该服务将提供给英国学术界的成员，并将围绕一个新的国家的最先进的400兆赫光谱仪。它将建立在目前在达勒姆运行的完善和经验丰富的服务基础上。除了提供高质量的光谱外，该服务还将提供实验规划和解释。它将促进固体核磁共振在化学问题上的应用，并将作为固体核磁共振方法的实际培训中心。EPSRC服务将与支持工业研究和开发需求的商业服务并行运行。支持案例描述了服务的结构、操作方式以及用户可用的仪器时间。拟议该处将运作五年，以便进行主要装备升级并评估其影响。

Solid-state NMR is an important technique for characterising and studying solid materials whether they are homogeneous or heterogeneous, crystalline or amorphous. It can be applied across a wide-range of chemistry including novel organic, inorganic, organometallic and hybrid compounds, polymers (both natural and synthetic), fuels, pharmaceutical and excipients, composites, ceramics, catalysts, liquid crystals and biologically-based systems. This proposal is for a solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) research service. The service will be available to members of the UK academic community and will based around a new state-of-the-art 400 MHz spectrometer. It will build upon the well-established and highly-experienced service currently running at Durham. The service will offer experiment planning and interpretation, in addition to providing high-quality spectra. It will promote the application of solid-state NMR to chemical problems and will act as a centre for practical training in solid-state NMR methodology. The EPSRC service will run in parallel to a commercial service supporting the research and development needs of industry. The case for support describes how the service will be structured, how it will operate and how much instrument time will be available to its users. It is proposed that the Service will operate for a period of five years to permit a major equipment upgrade to be carried out and its impact evaluated.
