Facilities- The Department of Chemistry is located in the Cox Science Building and in the Chemistry Annex Building. We have about 26,000 square feet of laboratory and office space combined, including a brand new NMR lab and Mass Spectroscopy lab.

 

Instrumentation- Major instruments used for research and teaching include:

 

- Bruker Single-crystal X-ray diffractometer with

  area detector,

- Bruker 500 MHz NMR spectrometer

- Bruker 400 MHz NMR spectrometer

- Bruker 300 MHz NMR spectrometer

- Bruker MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer

- VG Trio FAB mass spectrometer

- Bruker EPR spectrometer.

 

Additional departmental resources include spectrophotofluorimeters, UV-Vis and FT-IR spectrophotometers, modulated and pulsed photoacoustic, inelastic tunneling, and atomic  absorption spectrometers, automated cyclic voltammetry, HPLC and GC systems, and a number of high-speed computer workstations for molecular modeling.  The Chemistry Department also houses the University-wide Center for Advanced Microscopy, providing easy access to a transmission electron microscope (TEM), environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and scanning probe microscopes (STM and AFM).
