With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Furman University will acquire a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)/Raman spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas: a) the synthesis and characterization of polydiacetylenes; b) novel constrained macrocyclic ligands and their coordination complexes for studies in biocatalysis; c) synthesis and characterization of surface-mounted porphyrin arrays; d) Raman spectroscopy of simple aqueous ions; e) Raman spectroscopy of CO adducts of Lewis acids; f) reactive supramolecular complexes of tris(aryl)diolefins and transition metals; and g) aging of polymer composites. Scientists at area colleges and local industrial laboratories will have access to this equipment. A Fourier transform infrared/Raman spectrometer is a veritable workhorse in the modern chemical laboratory and can provide important information about molecular and electronic structure. Given that the instrument is robust and easy to use, it is ideal for use by undergraduates in both course work and research. The investigators will also develop new curricular resources for the chemical education community.

在主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的支持下，Furman University化学系将获得傅立叶变换红外（FTIR）/拉曼光谱仪。该设备将增强许多领域的研究：a）聚乙烯烯的合成和表征； b）新的约束大环配体及其用于生物催化研究的协调复合物； c）表面安装的卟啉阵列的合成和表征； D）简单水离子的拉曼光谱； e）路易斯酸CO加合物的拉曼光谱； f）Tris（芳基）二极曲和过渡金属的反应性超分子复合物； g）聚合物复合材料的衰老。地区学院和当地工业实验室的科学家将可以使用该设备。 傅立叶变换红外/拉曼光谱仪是现代化学实验室中名副其实的主力，可以提供有关分子和电子结构的重要信息。鉴于该仪器是强大且易于使用的，因此它非常适合在课程工作和研究中使用本科生。 研究人员还将为化学教育社区开发新的课程资源。
