Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a technique                   that uses absoption of infrared energy to probe molecular                       structure.  The acquisition of an FTIR spectrophotometer is                     crucial for enhancing the research and teaching environment of                  the modern chemistry department.                                                                                                                                The Department of Chemistry of the College of Charleston will                   use this award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation                        Program to help purchase an FTIR spectrophotometer that will                    enhance research in six areas of chemistry which include the                    following:                                                                                                                                                         1) Strong-base synthesis utilizing multiple anions                              2) Synthesis with non-strong base                                               3) FTIR solution conformation of folate polyglutamates                          4) Synthetic methods for natural products                                       5) Reactions of pentahaptocyclopentadienyldicarbonyl-                              nitrosylmanganese (I) with various Lewis base ligands                        6) Ultrasonic reactions of molybdenumhexacarbonyl                                                                                                            The FTIR spectrophotometer will represent a significant                         addition to the research instrumentation available to faculty                   and students at this RUI institution.
