Purchase of a Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer

气相色谱-质谱（GC/MS）系统 分离挥发性化合物的混合物， 每个分离的组分的质量。 GC/MS必不可少 当需要定量在植物中发现的可溶性化合物时， 稀溶液 GC/MS在以下领域很有用， 化学合成、动力学和结构分析。 这个奖项从化学仪器计划，以 犹他州大学化学系将帮助获得 GC/MS系统。 此次收购将增强 该部门教育学生，并将加强化学 在以下领域进行研究： 1. 异戊二烯代谢的研究 2. 合成与机械有机化学 3. 氧化烯丙基两性离子的吡喃酮光化学研究 4. 合成与机械有机化学 5. 合成与机械无机化学 6. 天然产物的合成

The Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) system separates mixtures of volatile compounds and identifies the masses of each separated component. The GC/MS is essential when there is a need to quantify soluble compounds found in dilute solutions. The GC/MS is useful in areas such as chemical synthesis, kinetics and structural analysis. This award from the Chemistry Instrumentation Program to the Department of Chemistry at University of Utah will help acquire a GC/MS system. The acquisition will enhance the ability of the Department to educate students and will enhance chemical research in the following areas: 1. Studies of Isoprene Metabolism 2. Synthetic and Mechanistic Organometallic Chemistry 3. Oxy-Allyl Zwitterions Via Pyrone Photochemistry 4. Synthetic and Mechanistic Organic Chemistry 5. Synthetic and Mechanistic Inorganic Chemistry 6. Synthesis of Natural Products
