An Urgent Triple Resonance NMR Upgrade for Materials Characterization

该申请要求为位于化学系固态核磁共振设施的400 MHz固态核磁共振光谱仪的全面第三通道核磁共振（NMR）控制台和探头升级提供资金。NMR光谱为研究人员提供了一种在分子水平上研究各种化学问题的结构和组成的工具。此次仪器升级将为阿尔伯塔大学的研究人员提供三重共振能力，访问85%的NMR活性核，并支持多维固态NMR技术，以识别短程（<4 μ m）和中程（<7 μ m）原子结构。此外，它将扩大光谱仪的应用范围，使阿尔伯塔大学的研究人员能够解决他们在各自领域面临的一些最具挑战性的原子结构和动力学问题。

This application requests funding for a comprehensive third channel nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) console and probe upgrade on a 400 MHz solid-state NMR spectrometer located in the Department of Chemistry’s Solid-state NMR Facility. NMR spectroscopy provides researchers a tool to investigate structure and composition at the molecular level in a diverse range of chemical problems. This instrument upgrade will provide triple resonance capabilities to researchers at the University of Alberta, accessing 85% of the NMR active nuclei and support multi-dimensional solid-state NMR techniques to identify short- (<4 Å) and medium-range (<7 Å) atomic structure. Furthermore, it will broaden the scope of applications of the spectrometer allowing University of Alberta researchers to address some of the most challenging atomic structure and dynamic problems they face in their respective fields.
