(DURIP-20) DUAL SOURCE SINGLE CRYSTAL X-RAY DIFFRACTOMETER FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF SMALL MOLECULES AND MATERIALS
Abstract
Funding for a state-of-the-art Bruker dual source (Cu and Mo) single crystal X-ray diffractometer with a PHOTON III detector for the City University of New York (CUNY) X-ray facility is requested. The CUNY X-ray facility was established to enhance research at CUNY and the greater New York City area. The diffractometer will be used to determine the molecular structure of small molecules and materials via X-ray crystallography. It would replace an outdated single source (Mo) machine with an APEX II detector that is past the end of its designated lifetime. Data collected would support a wide range of projects currently funded by the DoD, as well as projects of future interest: (a) biocatalytic self-assembly, (b) peptide nanostructures, (c) stimuli-responsive materials, (d) nanocrystal electrodes, (e) polymers for energy storage, (f) lithium battery materials, (g) porphyrin-inspired catalysts, (h) metal-organic polymer catalysts, and (i) porphyrinoid molecular electronics.
