With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Departmental Multi-User Instrumentation program (CRIF:MU), Professor Timothy M. Swager and Dr. Peter M. Mueller from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will acquire a single crystal X-ray diffractometer. The instrument will be used to support research activities such as: 1) redox transformations in a number of metal-containing systems (Jonas Peters); 2) study of molecular photocatalysis sytems (Daniel Nocera); 3) characterization of metal-containing systems with multiply-bonded ligands (Christopher Cummins); 4) the development of new catalysis systems for olefin metathesis and dinitrogen reduction (Richard Schrock). The instrument will also feature in the educational outreach activities of Dr. Mueller.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 will impact a number of areas, including chemistry, catalysis and solar energy research. Students using the apparatus will receive valuable training with cutting-edge instrumentation.

麻省理工学院的 Timothy M. Swager 教授和 Peter M. Mueller 博士将获得化学研究仪器和设施：部门多用户仪器计划 (CRIF:MU) 颁发的这一奖项，获得一台单晶 X 射线衍射仪。该仪器将用于支持研究活动，例如：1）许多含金属系统中的氧化还原转化（Jonas Peters）； 2）分子光催化系统研究（Daniel Nocera）； 3）具有多重键配体的含金属体系的表征（Christopher Cummins）； 4）开发用于烯烃复分解和二氮还原的新型催化体系（Richard Schrock）。 该仪器还将出现在 Mueller 博士的教育推广活动中。X 射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度，并提供有关分子空间排列的准确信息。一个分子相对于邻近分子的关系。这里描述的研究将影响许多领域，包括化学、催化和太阳能研究。 使用该设备的学生将接受有关尖端仪器的宝贵培训。
