Ultrafast Systems Transient Absorption (TA) Spectrometer
The TA Spectrometer measures the photo-physics of a molecule using an Ultrafast Helios and EOS spectrometer with a Coherent Libra amplified Ti:sapphire laser system and Light Conversion TOPAS optical parametric amplifier. This measurement permits users to measure desired photo-physical processes on the femto-to-microsecond timescales.
ISS Chronos BH Steady State and Time-resolved Fluorimeter
The ISS Chronos fluorimeter in the Young lab is utilized to measure both steady-state and time resolved emission from both solution and solid-state samples. Fluorescence lifetimes are measured using a technique called time-resolved single photon counting (TRSPC). In the steady-state mode, this instrument can be used to measure either the emission or excitation spectra of a given sample.
CH Instruments CH760d Potentiostat
The potentiostat in the Young lab is primarily used for cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, bulk electrolysis, and spectroelectrochemistry, in order to determine reduction and/or oxidation potentials of samples of interest.
Ocean Optics Absorption Spectrometer
The Ocean Optics diode array spectrometer is utilized to determine the absorption spectrum of a sample simultaneously with a one-shot measurement. The Ocean Optics spectrometer is used in conjunction with the potentiostat to carry out spectroelectrochemistry measurements.
Synthesis Lab
The synthesis lab utilizes a Schlenk line that is hooked up to a 1402 Welch vacuum pump and a nitrogen stream. These and other equipment commonly found in synthetic laboratories are utilized to synthesize products that are otherwise difficult to produce without air-free synthesis. Sample preparation for a wide range of characterization methods can be accomplished using a high vacuum line powered by an Edwards Turbomolecular Pump or a nitrogen purged glove bag if samples are air or water sensitive.
