The Department has excellent instrumentation. We possess state of the art Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR, National Science Foundation grant, 1998) and Mass Spectrometric (MS, National Science Foundation and Dreyfus Foundation grants, 2000) facilities, a Glovebox and high quality Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) instrumentation (all three from National Science Foundation grant, 2001). The department also possesses three capillary Gas Chromatographs (GC), a High Pressure liquid Chromatograph (HPLC), a polarograph, and a polarimeter.
