Purchase of a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

质谱法（MS）是一种用于探测 结构细节，并获得分子组成 大量的有机物、生物有机物和有机金属物 分子。 当与气相色谱（GC）结合时， 由此产生的GC/MS为化学家提供了一个最强大的 可用于分离和表征的工具 化合物. GC/MS的获得对于 在许多化学领域进行前沿研究。 加州大学化学系 欧文将使用这个奖项从化学研究 仪器计划，以帮助获得GC/MS系统。 的 化学研究领域，将通过收购加强 包括以下内容： 1. 有机与高分子化学 2. 探索性有机合成与合理药物设计 3. 钇和镧系金属的合成与化学 配合物 4. 生物系统的机理研究 5. 生物有机化学研究 6. 化合物膦酸酯类似物的合成 寡脱氧核苷酸 7. 螺旋受体的合成：分子识别 DNA

Mass Spectrometry (MS) is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic and organometallic molecules. When combined with gas chromatography (GC), the resulting GC/MS affords the chemist one of the most powerful tools available for the seperation and characterization of compounds. The acquisition of GC/MS is essential for the prosecution of frontier research in many fields of chemistry. The Department ofChemistry at the University of California at Irvine will use this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program to help acquire a GC/MS system. The areas of chemical research that will enhance by the acquisition include the following: 1. Organic and Polymer Chemistry 2. Exploratory Organic Synthesis and Rational Drug Design 3. Synthesis and Chemistry of Yttrium and Lanthanide Metal Complexes 4. Mechanistic Studies of Biological Systems 5. Studies in Bioorgnic Chemistry 6. Synthesis of Phosphonate Analogs of Oligodeoxyribonucleotides 7. Synthesis of Helical Receptors: Molecular Recognition of DNA
