The University of Pittsburgh received a $308,651 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to acquire a single crystal x-ray diffractometer for research and education. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will support the research of Professor Raul Hernandez Sanchez and Nathaniel Rosi through the acquisition of a dual-source diffractometer equipped with copper and molybdenum x-ray sources, an enhanced detector, and cryogenic device. A x-ray diffractometer allows for precise measurement of full three-dimensional molecular structures, including bond distances and angles. Professor Sanchez and Rosi will use the instrument to study and characterize various chemical species and materials, with research focusing on conjugated tubular species, macrocyclic furan structures, heteroacene compounds, peptide and protein structures, copper complexes, metal-organic frameworks for gas separations, novel metal clusters for catalysis, and determining structures of catalytic intermediates and products. The diffractometer will also support undergraduate and graduate education in chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Pittsburgh.
