Research Facilities

 
Abbott Hall is a newly remodeled (1997) and recently expanded (1992) structure with 73,000 square feet of space dedicated entirely to teaching and research in chemistry. Each room is wired with Ethernet connections to the campus backbone and thence to the world-wide Internet. With 30 faculty and student offices as well as 29 laboratories and classrooms, Abbott Hall provides some of the most modern teaching and research facilities in the state of North Dakota and surrounding regions.
Instrumentation utilized by the department is modern and extensive. Major equipment includes a Bruker Avance 500 high-field superconducting NMR spectrometer (with multinuclear solution capability), a Siemens P-4 single crystal X-ray diffractometer, numerous Hewlett-Packard GC/MS units, several FT-IR spectrometers, flame absorption and ICP emission spectrometers, thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimeters, several UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrometers, and numerous other specialized instruments used by individual faculty members and their students.

The department operates a variety of computational platforms, ranging from PC to mainframe, to address varied needs. For word processing and communications, graduate students and faculty have 24-hour access to departmental computer labs housing 20 networked PCs and Macintoshes with laser printers. For research, the Department maintains nine SGI (Silicon Graphics) workstations, two SGI Origin Servers, and four Compaq/DEC Alpha workstations (two are powerful XP1000s). A growing number of high-0end PCs are also configured to run Linux, or are dual boot machines that function as workstations as needed.

Libraries on the UND campus house the largest collection of chemistry journals, series and textbooks in the state of North Dakota. In addition, these libraries subscribe to numerous online services and support the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, which subscribes to additional journals and serials dedicated to areas of biological chemistry.
