Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry in The Chemistry and Environmental Science Curriculum

该项目将为化学和环境科学课程购买一台气相色谱仪/质谱仪。GC/MS实验将包括在中级和高级分析课程中。有机化学实验课程将在课程早期包括色谱和质谱信息，以便学生在第二学期开始合成方法时能够熟练掌握。本科研究人员将使用该仪器监测环境中农药和分解产物的命运，研究城市垃圾填埋场的浸出物质，规划合成策略并了解合成有机化学中的反应机制。＊＊＊

9351696 Van Engelen This project will purchase a Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer for the Chemistry and Environmental Science Curricula. GC/MS experiments will be included in the Intermediate and Advanced Analysis courses. The Organic Chemistry Laboratory courses will include chromatographic and mass spectral information early in the course so that students will be proficient when they begin synthetic methods in the second semester. Undergraduate researchers will use this instrumentation to monitor the fate of pesticides and decomposition products in the environment, to study the leaching materials from municipal landfills, and plan synthetic strategies and understand reaction mechanisms in synthetic organic chemistry. ***
