Equipment

Equipment for chemical synthesis under inert-gas conditions

For chemical synthesis under rigorous inert-gas conditions, we have numerous Schlenk lines and a glove box.




Quadrupole-ion trap mass spectrometer HCT (Bruker Daltonik) with ESI source and home-built inlet line for substrates

The inlet line makes possible the controlled introduction of volatile substrates into the ion trap and the investigation of ion-molecule reactions in a quantitative manner (kinetic measurements).




Quadrupole-ion trap mass spectrometer amaZon speed (Bruker Daltonik) with ESI source

The state-of-the art quadrupole-ion trap allows the measurement of labile ions in high signal intensities.




Q-TOF mass spectrometer micrO-TOF-Q II (Bruker Daltonik) with ESI, APCI, and cryospray-ionization sources

The cryospray-ionization source is variant of a normal ESI source with cooling of the spraying and the drying gas to prevent the unwanted fragmentation of thermolabile analyte ions.




Orbitrap mass spectrometer Exploris 120 (ThermoScientific) with ESI source

The orbitrap instruments permits the detection of ions with ultrahigh precision and mass resolution.



Ion-mobility mass spectrometer Synapt G2 HDMS (Waters)

We also have access to this ion-mobility instrument belonging to the institute's analytical service center. Ion-mobility measurements afford insight into the three-dimensional structure of the analyte ions.




UV/vis spectrometer and gas chromatograph

In order to monitor reactions, we also use one UV/vis spectrometer with a special immersion probe allowing for measurements in solution under inert-gas conditions as well as a gas chromatograph for synthesis.
