Chemistry
Donates Journals to Brazilian Universities
(Dec/2002)
Since July'02, Princeton University has licensed access to the electronic versions of the American Chemical Society's research journals back to their first volumes. As a result, many of the existing hard copies in the Library became obsolete and had to be disposed of.
As a much better alternative, the Chemistry
Library, with the enthusiastic assistance of the NMR facility staff, has
made a donation of an extensive and valuable hardcopy collection of ACS
Journals and other periodicals, including 51 years of publications of
the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The NMR staff contacted libraries overseas and various universities in Brazil showed great interest, although shipping costs were estimated at $10,000. Princeton’s Development Office arranged for a grant from ExxonMobil to cover the freight costs and the Department of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro will coordinate distribution to Brazilian libraries. As a result of this concerted effort more than 20 different publications will be shipped to Brazil this fall.
NMR
Facility: Recent Upgrades, Current Status and Capabilities

Poster
at Chemistry Reunion - May/2001
During 2000-2001, the mid-field cluster of NMR spectrometers underwent an upgrade with the purchase and installation of two brand new instruments: Varian Mercury 300-MHz and Varian INOVA 400-MHz systems. This upgrade was supported by an NIH grant and matching funds from Department of Chemistry and Princeton University. These new machines replaced two 15-years+ old spectrometers.
The mid-field upgrade
included a package with additional hardware for the existing 500- and
600-MHz instruments. A new PFG gradient amplifier (Performa III)
for the INOVA-500 allowed the NMR facility to proceed with further enhancement:
recently, an order was placed for 400 G/cm diffusion probe. Also, 2H gradient
shimming hardware was installed in both instruments.
The 2000/2001 upgrade of the Department's NMR Facility offered a powerful and competitive line-up of modern spectrometers: one Mercury Vx-Works 300-MHz, and INOVA's 400, 500 and 600-MHz instruments, all Varian models. Varian software (VNMR 6.1B,C) offers a large variation of user-friendly tools for research and educational projects.
