CHEM4720 — Modern Mass Spectrometry
Current instrumentation and techniques in mass spectrometry of molecular and atomic species. Discussion to include ionization techniques, mass analysis methods and detection of gas phase ions in the context of structural and elemental analysis. Interfacing of mass spectrometers to chromatographic systems is considered. Gas phase unimolecular and ion-molecule reaction kinetics and energetics are stressed as they relate to the information content observed in the mass spectrum.Credit for CHEM 4720 will not be granted if already received for CHEM 5720; no grad credit.Prerequisites: CHEM 4242 or instructor consent.
