Our department is fully equipped with advanced research instruments owned by Advanced Instrument Center and our department. Advanced Instrument Center, funded by the National Science Council, is located in the Chemistry Building. This Center makes available diverse instruments, including high-field superconducting Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, X-ray single crystal diffractometer, elemental analyzers, liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer, gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and thermal analysis system with a mass analyzer.

To facilitate our departmental research program, the Department administers various supporting services, including a cleanroom for microanalysis, electronics and instrument maintenance service, glass workshop and machine shop. In addition, the Department provides varied sophisticated instruments and research computing resources that are accessible by our graduate students. These instruments include high resolution mass spectrometer, gas chromatographmass spectrometer, in-ductively coupled plasmamass spectrometers, highfield superconducting Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, Fourier transform infrared spectrometers, Fourier transform infrared-Raman spectrometer, laser Raman spectrometer, electron spin resonance spectrometer, X-ray powder diffractometer, vacuum surface analysis system, dye laser, Nd-YAG laser, excimer laser, magnetic balance, thermal gravi-metric analyzer, atomic absorption-emission spectrophotometers, UV/vis spectrophotometers, fluorescence spectrometers, dynamic light scattering spectrometer, capillary electrochromatographs, high performance liquid chromatographs, ion exchange chromatographs, circular dichroism spectrophotometer.

Computer facilities include DEC station 2100/5/250, DEC Alpha 3000/700, silicon graphics workstation. National and international computer networks are accessible through the National Taiwan University computer system. Other facilities include softwares for computational chemistry and molecular modeling. Chemical and reaction databases such as Beilstein and MDL system are also available.
