The Jordan Group
The Jordan group facilities are currently located on the 4rth
floor of the Searle Chemical Laboratory on the U of C campus. We
occupy two four person labs, a smaller two person lab, a dry box room,
a
lab designated for polymerization reactors an instrument room and a
computer room. We
also make frequent use of the Chemistry
Department's shared facilities.
Vacuum lines : used to manipulate air sensitive
compounds
Main group chemistry glovebox
Early transition metal glovebox
Late transition metal glovebox
Gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer : used for
analysis of mixtures of compounds
Infrared Spectrometer
Ultraviolet / Visible spectrometer
Differential Scanning Calorimeter : used for the
characterization of thermal properties of polymers
High Temperature Gel Permeation Chromatograph : used
for determination polymer molecular weights
Polymerization reactors : for various pressure
reaction
