Department of Chemistry
Bagley Hall, the Chemistry Building, and the Chemistry Library Building, house labs, lecture halls, and offices for nearly 40 faculty. More than 60 staff members assist in both the teaching and research programs. Skilled personnel in the machine, electronics, and computer shops are ready to assist in the design and construction of special instrumentation.
Departmental instrumentation facilities include six NMR spectrometers ranging in field strength from 200 MHz to 750-MHz, all equipped with modern Bruker consoles. There is also a 10-GHz EPR spectrometer with cryogenic capabilities that extend to 2.5 K.
The mass spectrometric facility includes spectrometers ranging from high-resolution magnetic sector instruments to ion traps. These instruments feature many ionization and detection options, and inlets via gas chromatograph, direct probe, liquid chromatograph and flow injection.
The Department of Chemistry operates a single crystal X-ray diffractometer with a CCD detector. Additional core instrumentation includes a variety of equipment for applications such spectrophotometry, elemental analysis, gel scanning, etc.
Department computing facilities include a compute cluster for theoretical chemistry work, which features 211 dual processor 3.4 GHz Intel Xeon nodes equipped with a total of 754 gigabytes of memory.
