Facilities

The group has 2 laboratories with fume hoods (1 double) equipped with dual manifolds and Edwards high vacuum-pumps to be used for synthetic purposes.The group has got a MBraun Unilab (2000/780) double glove box to work under inert atmosphere and an XPS solvent purification system for 7 solvents. We have a brand new GC (Shimazdu) cromatographer and a High Pressure Reactor (Parr).
Researchers in the group have an office with 2PC’s computers and a laser printer.

CUNY Brooklyn College houses a variety of instruments needed to carry out the proposed research projects, including UV-Vis and IR spectrometers, Bruker 400 MHz and Varian 200 MHz NMR instruments, a Bruker E500 X-band EPR, an Agilent Technologies GC/MS instrument consisting of a 6890 N series GC, a 5973 series mass selective detector, with a Tekmar-Dohrmann Velocity XPT (purge and trap) sample concentrator, and a Perkin Elmer HPLC equipped with an LC 250 pump, a C18 column, and a diode array detector. There is also a Perkin-Elmer DSC-7 differential Scanning Calorimeter, a hiTech Stopped Flow Diode Array Spectrophotometer, a Microcal VP-ITC calorimeter, and a Fluorimeter (Gel imager). Specialized equipment in our research group includes a GC cromatographer. There are 6 processor (Itanium2) unix based workstation system for computational studies. Equipment located at other CUNY campuses [Hunter College (HC) and College of Staten Island (CSI)] will be used by our group. Facilities that are readily available to us at HC and CSI include: a Varian Unity 600 MHz NMR, a 500 MHz Varian Unity Plus NMR, a JEOL GX-400 400MHz NMR, a Hewlett-Packard 1000 electrospray/LC/MSD instrument, and an X-ray crystallography facility.
