Purchase of an FTIR Spectrometer

科罗拉多大学博尔德分校化学系将利用化学研究仪器计划的这一奖项来帮助获得傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱仪。此次收购将加强的化学研究领域包括：1.过氧草酸盐化学发光反应中高能中间体的鉴定。2.IR-VIS-UV光谱作为分子结构和组织的探针。3.光反应性大气分子的非均相光反应性傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)是一种利用红外吸收能量探测分子结构的技术。当与现代计算机结合使用时，可以方便地对大量样品进行FTIR研究，并容易地分析得到的数据。对于在许多重要前沿领域开展研究的化学家来说，FTIR光谱的使用是必不可少的。

1he Department of Chemistry at the University of Colorado at Boulder will use this award from the Chemical Research Instrumentation Program to help acquire a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include the following: 1. Identification of High Energy Intermediates in the Peroxyoxalate Chemiluminescence Reaction. 2. IR-VIS-UV Spectroscopy as a Probe of Molecular Structure and Organization. 3. Heterogeneous Photoreactivity of Photoreactive Atmospheric Molecules. Fourier Transorm Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a technique that uses absorption of infrared energy to probe molecular structure. When used in conjunction with a modern computer, FTIR studies on large numbers of samples can be conveniently carried out and the resulting data readily analyzed. The use of FTIR spectroscopy is essential to chemists who are carrying out research in many important frontier areas.
