Acquisition of Inert Atmosphere Chamber

化学研究仪器和设施计划的这一奖项将帮助贡扎加大学化学系购买一个双长度干燥箱。 该设备将用于以下研究领域：（1）过渡金属卟啉配合物的合成;（2）新型固态材料的制备;（3）新型离子交换材料的合成和测试;（4）新型过渡金属氟醇盐配合物的合成。 干燥箱通常用于学术，工业和政府实验室，为空气或水敏感材料的安全操作提供惰性气氛环境。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the Gonzaga University in the purchase of a dual length drybox. This equipment will be used in the following areas of research: (1) The synthesis of transition metal porphyrin complexes; (2) Preparation of new solid state materials; (3) The synthesis and testing of new ion-exchange materials; (4) The synthesis of new transition metal fluoroalkoxide complexes. Dryboxes are routinely used in academic, industrial, and government laboratories to provide an inert atmosphere environment for the safe manipulation of air- or water-sensitive materials.
