Facilities for Graduate Work
The Mallet Chemistry Library is the largest academic chemistry library in the country. In addition to extensive print collections in all areas of chemistry and chemical engineering, the library provides access to key database resources such as SciFinder (Chemical Abstracts), Reaxys, and Web of Science, as well as hundreds of electronic scientific journals and thousands of e-books. These resources are available through the University Libraries website.
The Department of Chemistry maintains suitably equipped and well-staffed shops for glassblowing, machine work, and electronics maintenance and design. There are service laboratories equipped for organic analysis and for work in spectrophotometry; spectropolarimetry; photoelectron, nuclear magnetic, and electron spin resonance; X-ray diffraction; and mass spectrometry. Other specialized equipment is available in various laboratories. The facilities of Information Technology Services are used in numerous research programs.
