This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Division of Chemistry Research Instrumentation program, and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate Office of Strategic Initiatives. The University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) is acquiring a 500 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with a liquid nitrogen cooled broadband probe to support the research of Professor Dong-Chan Lee, along with colleagues Pradip Bhowmik, Ernesto Abel-Santos, Jun Yong Kang, and Chandrabali Bhattacharya. This instrument facilitates research in the areas of organic materials, polymer chemistry, synthetic chemistry methodology, battery, and biomedical chemistry. In general, 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 or in the solid state. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. This instrument has significantly enhanced sensitivity owing to the cutting-edge cryoprobe technology compared to a standard room-temperature probe, which not only ensures the timely success of the ongoing projects but fosters opportunities to explore new research projects. This instrument enhances the educational, research and researc
