A consortium headed by Gottfried Otting and Joel was recently awarded $1.53M from the ARC’s large equipment grant fund (LIEF). This grant, which was the largest of its kind, will allow the purchase of an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a cryosystem.

The instrument will be situated at the Research School of Chemistry at ANU and the University of Sydney will have ~20-25% of the measurement time. This will be a tremendous boost to our capabilities, allowing the recording of full datasets in substantially reduced times, as well as greatly improving signal-to-noise over the current instrumentation.
