Department of Chemistry Facilities

The department of Chemistry is housed in the Jepson Science Center which opened in Fall of 1998.

Departmental laboratories contain instrumentation for gas and liquid chromatography; ultraviolet-visible, infrared (FT), fluorescence, nuclear magnetic resonance, atomic absorption, and emission (ICP) spectroscopy; mass spectrometry; polarography; anodic stripping and cyclic voltammetry; and bomb calorimetry. In addition, there is equipment for X-ray diffraction and high vacuum studies. Microcomputers and the University's minicomputer are available and are employed in many aspects of the program. The department has obtained a scanning tunneling and atomic force microscope through a recently awarded NSF Major Research Initiative Grant
