Ultraviolet/Visible (UV/VIS) spectroscopy is a technique that                   uses absorption of ultraviolet light to probe molecular                         structure.  The acquisition of an UV/VIS                                        spectrophotometer is crucial for enhancing the research and                     teaching environment of the modern chemistry department.                                                                                                        The Department of Chemistry of Florida International University                 will use the instrumentation, purchased with the help of an                     award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program, to                     enhance research in the following areas of chemistry:                                                                                                              1) Temperature dependence of UV/Visible spectra of molecules                       in the gas and condensed phase                                               2) Separation and identification of carotenoids in human                           macular pigment                                                              3) Thermochemistry of coordination compounds                                    4) Competitive chelation of porphyrins; implications for                           geoporphyrin chemistry                                                       5) Kinetics of monochloramine oxidation of Syringaldozine                                                                                                    The UV/VIS spectrophotometer will represent a significant                       addition to the research and teaching instrumentation available                 to this RUI institution that has set the increased                              participation of talented black and hispanic students as one of                 its primary goals.
