This award is supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation programs. The University of Southern California (USC) is acquiring a single crystal X-ray diffractometer to support Professor Travis Williams and colleague, Ralf Haiges. In general, an X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three-dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles. A diffractometer also provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of a molecule relative to neighboring molecules. The studies may impact many areas, including organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument is an integral part of teaching as well as research and research training of undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, biochemistry and other engineering fields at this institution. In addition, the diffractometer has broad impact on teaching and training, outreach activities, and undergraduate research at USC and regional partners from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). The instrument acquisition is an essential component of an outreach program inspiring diverse, low-income high school students to become leaders and innovators in science and engineering through the Young Scientists Program of the USC Joint Educational Project and the Southern California Section of the American Chemical Society.The award of the X-ray diffractometer is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. The instrument acquisition impacts the characterization of synthetic inorganic and organic materials to develop new catalysts to advance manufacturing used for biodiesel production, solar-to-fuel technologies, and photovoltaics. The instrumentation is also used for studying catalytic processes to enable polymer sustainability. In addition, the diffractometer benefits exploration of organofluorine compounds of relevance to the methanol economy. The instrument is also used to characterize products relevant to biological chemistry.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项得到了主要的研究工具和化学研究工具计划的支持。南加州大学（USC）正在购买一个单晶X射线衍射仪，以支持Travis Williams教授和同事Ralf Haiges。通常，X射线衍射仪可以准确，精确地测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键距和角度。 衍射仪还提供了有关分子相对于相邻分子的空间排列的准确信息。这些研究可能会影响许多领域，包括有机和无机化学，材料化学和生物化学。该工具是该机构化学，生物化学和其他工程领域的本科生和研究生的教学和研究培训的组成部分。此外，衍射仪对USC的教学和培训，外展活动以及本科伙伴的教学和培训，外展活动以及主要是本科机构（PUI）的区域合作伙伴有广泛的影响。该乐器的获取是一项宣传计划的重要组成部分，启发了多元化的低收入高中生，通过USC联合教育项目的年轻科学家计划和美国化学学会的南加州奖，成为科学和工程学领域的领导者和创新者。该仪器采集会影响合成无机和有机材料的表征，以开发新的催化剂，以推动用于生产生产，太阳能到燃料技术和光伏的制造。该仪器还用于研究催化过程以实现聚合物可持续性。 此外，衍射仪有益与甲醇经济相关的有机氟烯化合物的探索。该仪器还用于表征与生物化学相关的产品。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
