Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most                       powerful tool available to the chemist for the elucidation of                   the structure of molecules.  It is used to identify unknown                     substances, 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                          spectroscopy is essential to chemists who are carrying out                      frontier research.                                                                                                                                              This award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program                    will help the Department of Chemistry of Rice University to                     acquire a high-field NMR spectrometer.  The areas of research                   that will be enhanced by the acquisition include:                                                                                                               1) Synthesis of small ring alkenes and organometallic chemistry                 2) Asymmetric induction in organic synthesis                                    3) Total synthesis of molecules of biomedical interest                          4) Study of the kinetics of the reactions of azoalkanes                         5) Total synthesis of complex natural products                                  6) Biosynthesis of natural products.
