FTIR spectrometer

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The FTIR requested from NSERC RTI will be used to facilitate the research programs of five groups (all of whom are current NSERC Discovery Grant holders) in the Chemistry department at UBC. Funds awarded for this proposal will be used solely for the purchase of the spectrometer and printer. The Love, Ciufolini, Dake, Schafer and Sammis groups generate a wide variety of organic, organometallic and coordination compounds and therefore need a range of tools for reaction analysis. An infrared spectrometer is an essential instrument for the complete characterization of synthetic organic and inorganic compounds. At present, the locations of these instruments have made it exceptionally inconvenient to collect data and access has been problematic. The proposed equipment will be the only FTIR in the building with 24/7 access and consequently will be the workhorse instrument for all research groups. At present, we do not have easy access to this routine and essential instrumentation and consequently there have been delays in publication. The following sections demonstrate the specific needs of individual research groups involved in this application.
