Description

Maximising success in analysing organometallics by MALDI mass spectrometry. This project pairs inert-sampling capability with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry to enable precision detection and identification of organometallic species. The bespoke coupling of a fully equipped Jacomex PureSmart glovebox to a NeofleX MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometer will enable intact and in situ measurement of air and moisture sensitive metal-coordinated molecules. This infrastructure will serve the research community of two ARC-funded ITTCs focussed on the development of advanced radiochemical technologies and advanced chemical manufacturing. Uncovering new reactivity modes can change how chemists make molecules, uncover hidden reactivity to inform future drug design, and provide safer products to avoid metal contamination.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 3402 - Inorganic Chemistry. Lead: Prof Andrea Robinson
