MRI: Aquisition of a High Resolution Mass Spectrometer

有了这项重大研究仪器（MRI）计划的奖励，圣地亚哥加州大学化学系将获得一台高分辨率质谱仪。这一设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括a）过渡金属介导的炔化学; B）开发具有有趣生物特性的新型拟肽结构; c）利用定向化学合成来阐明物理有机化学中的问题; d）开发荧光化学传感器; e）制备大小金属簇。 质谱（MS）是一种用于探测紧密结构细节并获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。这些研究的结果将在许多领域产生影响，包括新催化剂的开发。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of California in San Diego will acquire a High Resolution Mass Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) transition metal-mediated chemistry of alkynes; b) the development of novel peptidomimetic structures with interesting biological properties; c) the use of directed chemical synthesis to elucidate problems in physical organic chemistry; d) the development of fluorescent chemosensors; and e) the preparation of large and small metal clusters. 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. The results from these studies will have an impact in a number of areas including the development of new catalysts.
