The mass spectrometry (MS) is a fundamental analytical tool for the characterization of new compounds, providing the molecular weight, elemental constitution and hints regarding the molecular structure. Currently the MS service department which offers analytical service for many research groups of the Faculty of Chemistry, possesses only two high resolution mass spectrometers. Both instruments are older than 13 years and there is no further support and service from the suppliers, making the maintenance very difficult. Thus, the purchase of a new high resolution mass spectrometer (equipped with an EI and CI source) is essential for state of the art mass spectrometric characterization of small nonpolar compounds in a mass range of 30-2000 m/z. A large variety of small molecules with low or medium polarity is generated as products of the catalyses performed in the CRC 1333 "Molecular Heterogeneous Catalysis in Confined Geometries" and the SPP 2102 "Light-Controlled Reactivity of Metal Complexes". Thus, the current application is of fundamental importance for these joint research projects.
