MRI: Aquisition of a High Resolution Mass Spectrometer

通过这项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）项目的奖励，位于圣地亚哥的加州大学化学系将获得一台高分辨率质谱仪。该设备将加强在一些领域的研究，包括a)过渡金属介导的炔烃化学；B)具有有趣生物学特性的新型肽类结构的发展；C)使用定向化学合成来阐明物理有机化学中的问题；D)荧光化学传感器的发展；e)大小金属团簇的制备。质谱（MS）是一种用于探测内部结构细节和获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。这些研究的结果将对包括新催化剂开发在内的许多领域产生影响。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of California in San Diego will acquire a High Resolution Mass Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) transition metal-mediated chemistry of alkynes; b) the development of novel peptidomimetic structures with interesting biological properties; c) the use of directed chemical synthesis to elucidate problems in physical organic chemistry; d) the development of fluorescent chemosensors; and e) the preparation of large and small metal clusters. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic, and organometallic molecules. The results from these studies will have an impact in a number of areas including the development of new catalysts.
