A Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer for Undergraduate Instruction and Research

化学系正在采购一台气相色谱仪/质谱仪，用于本科教学和研究。该仪器用于物理化学实验课的气相反应研究实验，以及分析化学和无机化学高级课程的反应混合物和天然产物分析。广泛使用该仪器的本科生正在从事研究项目，研究希夫碱配位化合物的合成和结构，作为可能的激光材料和硅化合物的合成的理论兴趣。

The Department of Chemistry is purchasing a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer for undergraduate instruction and research. The instrument is being used in experiments investigating gas phase reactions in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory course, and the analysis of reaction mixtures and natural products in advanced courses in analytical and inorganic chemistry. Extensive use of the instrument is being made by undergraduate students engaged in research projects investigating the synthesis and structure studies of Schiff base coordination compounds as possible laser materials and the synthesis of silicon compounds of theoretical interest.
