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农业与机械学院化学系将获得化学研究仪器与设施：多用户计划（CRIF:MU）授予的高分辨率飞行时间（TOF）质谱仪。所要求的仪器将用于各种研究项目，包括研究显示可调谐能量转移的共轭系统；新型传感试剂的合成与研究导电聚烷基杂芳烃端基的合成裁剪无机-有机超分子的表征荧光卟啉类生物偶联物的合成与表征以及使用肟醚的新合成方法。质谱是物理和生物科学家广泛使用的一种工具，通过精确测量材料和化学物质在仪器中蒸发和破碎时的质量，来识别和表征它们。本科生将通过课堂连接和实验室，以及本科生研究项目和暑期项目接触到这些仪器。博士生将受益于正式的实践培训。此外，该项目的另一个主要目标是创建一个区域质谱资源，通过包含易于访问的高安全性网络基础设施，增强外部用户的可用性，这些基础设施将内置在设施中，为区域机构的非现场用户提供远程访问。
