内容简介：
【简介】 The Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) offers degrees in Chemistry at all levels. Graduate degree programs in Analytical, Atmospheric, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry are offered.
Faculty Research Interests: Analytical Traditionally, research in the area of Analytical Chemistry involves the development of new methods for determining the identities and concentrations of the chemical species present in mixtures. The problems addressed are extremely diverse. At UCI, state-of-the-art research in the area mass spectrometry (MS), which is just one modern instrumental method of analysis, includes MS analyses of biomolecules (McIver), atmospheric aerosols (Finlayson-Pitts), atmospheric gases (Blake), adsorbed organic molecules on metal surfaces (Hemminger).

Atmospheric Research in the area of Atmospheric Chemistry encompasses laboratory, field and modeling studies of chemical processes important in both the lower and upper atmosphere. Current areas of interest represented in the Department of Chemistry include trace gas measurements in clean and polluted environments (Rowland, Cicerone, Blake), laboratory studies of the kinetics and mechanisms of atmospheric reactions (Finlayson-Pitts, Hemminger) and modeling of atmospheric systems (Cicerone). There are close collaborations with faculty in the Department of Earth System Science and many of the Atmospheric Chemistry faculty hold joint appointments in the two departments.
Education Professors and Lecturers in Chemical Education seek to develop new approaches for teaching chemistry both in the classroom, and in the laboratory, at all levels. Specializing in Chemical Education at UCI are Professors Arasasingham, Miller, and Taagepera, and Lecturers Rogers and Kim. The UCI Chemistry Department in cooperation with the UCI Department of Education offers a two-year program leading to the Master of Science in Chemistry and a California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Chemistry.
Inorganic Inorganic Chemistry is an exceptionally diverse field that encompasses all of the elements in the periodic table. Areas of interest to inorganic chemists at UCI include the synthesis and characterization of new types of inorganic compounds, the preparation of inorganic materials with potentially useful properties, and the exploration of the role of metal ions in biological processes and catalysis.
Organic The Organic Chemistry program at UCI is a world leader in the total synthesis of natural products and the development of new methods for synthesizing organic compounds. It is widely recognized for its excellence, and its emphasis on the synthesis and study of molecules relevant to life processes and new materials provides many exciting research opportunities, ranging from the creation and evaluation of new organic polymers and peptidomimetic compounds to the synthesis of proteins and promising new pharmaceuticals. Faculty engaged in these endeavors include Professors Chamberlin, Feher, Freeman, Guan, Moore, Nowick, Overman, Rychnovsky, Shea, Van Vranken, Weiss, and Woerpel.
Physical Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics. Every chemical process observed in the laboratory proceeds in accordance with a compact set of physical laws and principles. Understanding Chemistry in the context of these laws is the domain of physical chemists and chemical physicists. At UCI, every major area of Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics is represented among twenty of the faculty: Professors Apkarian, Blake, Bondebey, Brant, Finlayson-Pitts, Gerber, Grayce, Hemminger, Ho, Janda, Mandelshtam, Martens, McIver, Penner, Rentzepis, Rowland, Shaka, Tobias, and Wolfsberg.
