项目摘要

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities - Multiuser Instrumentation (CRIF-MU) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of California Riverside will purchase a gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including 1) characterization of highly reactive molecules: carbenes, diradicals); 2) development of new carbon nanotube-based field ionization emitters; 3) design of new heterogeneous catalysts; 4) metabonomic studies of arabidopsis thaliana; 5) synthesis of molecular pistons; and 6) gas phase ion chemistry and novel molecular systems. 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. It is one of the fastest growing and most widely used analytical instrumentation techniques. Because of this, it is important for undergraduate and graduate students to be exposed to the technique. This instrument will be accessed by a large number of underrepresented minority students in accordance with the demographics of the University of California Riverside and minority student participation via cyber-links from Alcorn State University and California State University Bakersfield. Undergraduate students from Point Loma Nazarene University, a primarily undergraduate institution, will also use the instrument remotely via cyber-enablement.

在化学研究仪器和设施的支持下 - 多源仪器（CRIF-MU）计划，加利福尼亚大学河滨大学化学系将购买气相色谱量子级的飞行时间质谱仪。该设备将增强许多领域的研究，包括1）高反应性分子的表征：卡宾斯，圆锥形）； 2）开发新的基于碳纳米管的现场电离发射器； 3）新的异质催化剂的设计； 4）拟南芥的代谢研究； 5）分子活塞的合成； 6）气相离子化学和新型分子系统。质谱法（MS）是一种用于探测结构细节的技术，并获得了一系列有机，生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成。它是增长最快，使用最广泛的分析仪器技术之一。因此，本科生和研究生要接触到该技术很重要。根据加利福尼亚大学河滨大学和少数民族学生参与的人口统计，将通过来自阿尔科恩州立大学和加利福尼亚州立大学巴克斯菲尔德的网络链接来访问该乐器。主要是本科机构的洛马·纳撒琳大学（Point Loma Nazarene University）的本科生也将通过网络启用来远程使用该乐器。
