Acquisition of Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) and Computational Workstations for Undergraduate Research in Chemistry

有了这项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的奖项，位于阿什维尔的北卡罗来纳州大学化学系将获得一台气相色谱质谱仪（GC/MS）和一个Linux集群。这一设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：a）卤化碳物质的单分子和双分子气相反应; B）二烯烃的键合; c）乙烯基环丁烯催化转化为环己二烯。 气相色谱-质谱联用（GC/MS）是一种非常强大的技术，用于复杂混合物的分离和分析。该仪器将大大加强阿什维尔的北卡罗来纳州大学的科学研究，该大学主要是本科院校。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina in Asheville will acquire a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC/MS) and a Linux cluster. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) unimolecular and bimolecular gas-phase reactions of halocarbon species; b) bonding in metallocenes; and c) catalytic conversion of vinylcyclobutenes to cyclohexadienes. Gas chromatograph with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS) is an extremely powerful technique used for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures. This instrument will substantially strengthen scientific research at the University of North Carolina in Asheville, a primarily undergraduate institution.
