ABSTRACT
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.
