Departmental Facilities
The Department of Chemistry has excellent research equipment including a 600 MHz Bruker Avance III spectrometer (purchased in 2011,
with solution and solid state capabilities) and a 400 MHz Bruker DRX-400 NMR spectrometer,
a single crystal X-ray Bruker Apex II CCD diffractometer with an Oxford Cobra cryosystem, an ESR Bruker EMX spectrometer,
MALDI-TOF and ESI mass spectrometers, and Hewlett-Packard GC-MS system with electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) modes.
Access to UW computational facilities is supplemented by a number of departmental Silicon Graphics workstations.

High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Facility (HRTEM)
The High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) Facility at the University of Wyoming features the powerful FEI Tecnai G2 F20 200 kV (S)TEM
to meet the characterization needs of the materials science community in the university and in the region. It offers up to atomic resolution imaging and
complementary compositional analysis capabilty through energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectrometry. This facility is made possible with support from the
School of Energy Resources.
