The following are examples of instruments which are available for both research and teaching purposes. Currently the Department is equipped with a JEOL 400 MHz Lambda and a JEOL JNM-EX90A NMR spectrometers, as well as other lower field instruments. The Department has a number of UV spectrophotometers which can scan from the visible to the near-IR region of the electromagnetic absorption spectrum. There are many other common instruments which are available for research.
More specialised equipment is associated with each section or research group in the department.
The Department also has a computer laboratory with over 20 PC's and 5 X-terminals connected to a local SS20 server. The departmental LAN is linked to UM Computer Centre where resources at UM Computer Centre, UM Library, other networked servers within UM and all over the world can be accessed. Various computational chemistry and molecular modelling softwares are available. The acquisition of a Cray J90 by the University lately have enabled researchers to utilize supercomputing power within the campus. We are among the heavy users of this supercomputing facility.
