Upgrade of the 500 MHz NMR Spectrometer

核磁共振（NMR）波谱是世界各地化学部门必不可少的工具。核磁共振用于表征分子和原子水平上的结构、动态行为和化学反应性。在温莎大学化学与生物化学系，有5台有效的核磁共振光谱仪，被11个研究小组和超过55名用户使用，包括本科生、研究生、博士后、技术人员和教职员工。我们部门最重要的研究工具是布鲁克500 MHz核磁共振光谱仪，它拥有最大的超导磁体，提供最高的信噪比和最佳的光谱分辨率，可以用于液体和固体样品（这是我们光谱仪中独一无二的）。我们可以观察到多种重要元素的同位素的核磁共振谱，包括1H、13C、15N、19F、29Si、31P等。这台光谱仪是我们部门的主力，支持化学许多分支的研究项目，包括有机、无机、材料、有机金属、生物和固态化学。

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an essential tool in chemistry departments around the world. NMR is used to characterize structures, dynamic behaviour and chemical reactivity at the level of molecules and atoms. In the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor, there are 5 active NMR spectrometers, which are used by 11 research groups and over 55 users, including undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, technicians and faculty members. The most important research tool in our department is the Bruker 500 MHz NMR spectrometer, which has the largest superconducting magnet, provides the highest signal-to-noise ratio and best spectral resolution, and can be utilized for both liquid and solid samples (which is unique among our spectrometers). We can observe NMR spectra of a variety of isotopes of important elements, including 1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, 29Si, 31P and numerous others. This spectrometer is our departmental workhorse, supporting research programs in many branches of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, materials, organometallic, biological and solid-state chemistry.
