This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multiuser program (CRIF:MU), Alec M. Wodtke from the University of California Santa Barbara will acquire a gas chromatograph time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer (MS) for the Mass Spectrometry Facility of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The high resolution instrument will have several ionization sources such as electron ionization (EI), chemical ionization (CI) and field desorption/field ionization (FI/FD) suitable for small molecule analysis. In addition to supporting researchers at this institution, cyber-enabling of the spectrometer will support remote data access for scientists and students in other campus departments and area institutions such as Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, Westmont College-Santa Barbara, Cal State University-Channel Islands, Cal State-Sacramento. The cyber infrastructure will also support educational and outreach initiatives via real-time remote instrument access in both college and high school chemistry courses. Research areas that will be impacted by this spectrometer include among others: the study of marine natural products with wound healing properties, total synthesis of natural products, optoelectric properties of organic materials, the development of new transition metal mediated chemical processes and environmentally sustainable chemical synthesis.TOF-mass spectrometry with ionization capabilities is an excellent technique for obtaining accurate molecular weights on small and large molecules. Use of this type of mass spectrometer has become a standard technique, especially in studies involving labile organic and organometallic molecules. This research will have a significant impact in a number of areas, especially chemistry, biochemistry and materials. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching as well as research.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)获得的。在化学研究仪器和设施：多用户计划(CRIF：MU)的这一奖项下，来自加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的Alec M.Wodtke将为化学和生物化学系的质谱学设施获得一台气相色谱飞行时间(TOF)质谱仪。高分辨率仪器将有几种适合小分子分析的电离源，如电子电离(EI)、化学电离(CI)和场解吸/场电离(FI/FD)。除了支持该机构的研究人员外，光谱仪的网络使能还将支持其他校园系和地区机构的科学家和学生远程数据访问，如加州理工大学圣路易斯·奥比斯波学院、威斯蒙特学院-圣巴巴拉学院、加州州立大学-海峡群岛、加州州立大学-萨克拉门托。网络基础设施还将通过在大学和高中化学课程中实时远程访问仪器来支持教育和外联举措。受该光谱仪影响的研究领域包括：具有伤口愈合特性的海洋天然产物的研究，天然产物的全合成，有机材料的光电特性，新的过渡金属介导的化学过程的开发和环境可持续的化学合成。具有电离能力的飞行时间质谱仪是一种获得大小分子精确分子量的优秀技术。使用这种类型的质谱计已经成为一种标准技术，特别是在涉及不稳定的有机和有机金属分子的研究中。这项研究将在多个领域产生重大影响，特别是化学、生物化学和材料。该仪器将成为教学和研究不可或缺的一部分。
