MRI Acquisition 400 MHz Nuclear

项目摘要

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program that is co-funded by the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, Professor Alfred Addo-Mensah from Texas A&M International University (TAMUI) and colleagues Anju Gupta, Eugenio Jaramillo, Qingwen Ni and James Cohen will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer to be housed at TAMUI but also accesible to Laredo Community College (LCC). This award is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) design, synthesis, characterization and binding studies of multivalent bipyridine based macrocyclic carbohydrate receptors in aqueous solutions; (b) evolutionary patterns, identification, and characterization of naphthoquinones in the plant family boraginaceae; (c) study of molecular sieves containing transition metal ions; and (d) design and synthesis of light-emitting polymers.Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances, to characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solution. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies will have an impact in synthetic organic/inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research at both of these minority serving institutions, which will increase access to modern instrumentation to a large number of underrepresented students.

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program that is co-funded by the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, Professor Alfred Addo-Mensah from Texas A&M International University (TAMUI) and colleagues Anju Gupta, Eugenio Jaramillo, Qingwen Ni and James Cohen will acquire a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer to be housed at TAMUI but also accesible to拉雷多社区学院（LCC）。该奖项旨在增强各个级别的研究和教育，尤其是在（a）水溶液中基于双吡啶基的二吡啶基碳水化合物受体的设计，合成，表征和结合研究之类的领域；（b）植物科内曲科中萘喹酮的进化模式，鉴定和表征；（c）研究含有过渡金属离子的分子筛子；（d）发光聚合物的设计和合成。核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家可用的最强大工具之一，用于阐明分子结构。它用于识别未知物质，以表征分子中原子的特定排列，并研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。对于正在进行边境研究的化学家来说，获得最先进的NMR光谱仪至关重要。这些NMR研究的结果将对合成有机/无机化学，材料化学和生物化学产生影响。在这两个少数派服务机构中，该工具将是教学的组成部分，也将是研究的一部分，这将增加对大量代表性不足的学生获得现代仪器的机会。
