The Chemistry Department at Louisiana State University & Agricultural and Mechanical College will acquire a high resolution time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer with this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multi User program (CRIF:MU). The requested instrument will be used in a diverse range of research projects including the investigation of conjugated systems displaying tunable energy transfer; synthesis and study of novel sensing agents; synthetic tailoring of end groups in conducting poly(alkylheteroarene)s; characterization of inorganic-organic supramolecules; synthesis and characterization of fluorescent porphyrinoid bioconjugates; and new synthetic methods using oxime ethers. Mass spectroscopy is a tool widely employed by physical and biological scientists to identify and characterize materials and chemical species by accurate measurement of their mass as they are vaporized and fragmented in the instrument. Undergraduates would be exposed to this instrumentation via classroom connections and laboratories, as well as undergraduate research programs and summer programs. PhD students will benefit from formalized, hands-on training. Additionally, another main goal of this project is to create a regional mass spectrometry resource with enhanced availability to external users by inclusion of easy access, high security cyber infrastructure that will be built into the facility to provide remote access to off site users from regional institutions.

路易斯安那州立大学和农业和机械学院的化学系将获得高分辨率的飞行时间（TOF）质谱仪，并获得化学研究仪器和设施的奖项：多用户计划（CRIF：MU）。 所请求的仪器将用于各种研究项目，包括对显示可调能量传输的共轭系统的调查；新型传感剂的合成和研究；在传导聚（烷基甲烯烯）S中的最终组的合成裁缝；无机有机超分子的表征；荧光卟啉生物偶联物的合成和表征；以及使用氧电醚的新合成方法。质谱学是由物理和生物学科学家广泛使用的工具，可以通过精确测量材料和化学物质来识别和表征它们的质量，因为它们在仪器中被蒸发和碎片分散。 本科生将通过课堂联系和实验室以及本科研究计划和夏季计划接触此仪器。 博士生将受益于正式的动手培训。 此外，该项目的另一个主要目标是通过包含易于访问，高安全性网络基础架构来创建一个区域质谱资源，并增强了外部用户的可用性，该基础架构将内置在该设施中，以从区域机构提供远程访问网站用户的远程访问。
