The Chemistry Department occupies space in the Norman C. Francis Academic / Science Complex. The first portion of this state-of-the-art teaching and research facility was completed in 1988, and we expanded into the extension in1999. This has doubled the area available for teaching and research in Chemistry.
Students taking Chemistry courses at Xavier become familiar with a wide variety of chemical and instrumental techniques, from simple electronic balances, spectrometers, and chromatography instrumentation in General and Organic Chemistry through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray diffraction in advanced courses and undergraduate research projects.
