The Chemistry complex consists of six buildings, four of which are dedicated to Chemistry and two of which are shared with nearby Departments.

Adjoining buildings house the Biological Sciences and Chemical Engineering Departments. This cluster of buildings is located near a wide range of science and engineering departments and the Medical School. While formally connected with the School of Engineering, the Department of Chemical Engineering shares stockroom, classroom, research library, and technical service facilities with the Chemistry Department. The Swain Research Library, located within the Chemistry cluster, houses a large collection of books and extensive periodicals. Members of the Chemistry Department enjoy 24-hour access, and computerized literature searching is available, covering databases such as Chemical Abstracts, Science Citation Index, and Engineering Index. Students and faculty also make extensive use of excellent libraries in the Biology, Physics, and Math Departments in the Schools of Medicine and Engineering.

The Department has a very strong commitment to obtaining and maintaining state-of-the-art instrumentation for analysis and spectroscopy. The NMR instruments include 200, 300, 400, and 500 MHz spectrometers equipped for a wide range of nuclei. Departmental staff provide training for student operators. The Stanford Magnetic Resonance Laboratory, a specialized University facility located in the Organic Chemistry building, can be made available for use by members of the Chemistry Department. Its instruments include 500 and 800 MHz spectrometers, principally for analysis of biological macromolecules. The staff of the Magnetic Resonance Laboratory is very experienced in the development and application of new NMR methods. A graduate level course is offered periodically to provide hands-on experience in NMR spectroscopy.

An extremely wide range of state-of-the-art specialized instrumentation is available in individual research groups. A brief list includes: femtosecond and picosecond linear and nonlinear spectroscopy, ultra-high resolution laser spectroscopy, ion cyclotron resonance facilities, dynamic light scattering spectroscopy, biological culture facilities, and electrochemical systems.

Other major Departmental facilities include the following: UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers, Nicolet and IBM FTIR spectrometers, two Jasco CDs with 70 kG Oxford magnets for MCD at variable temperature from the UV to NIR, two Spex laser-Raman spectrometers (including Argon-ion and Krypton-ion pumped dye lasers for resonance Raman), atomic absorption spectrometer, fluorimeter, superconducting magnetometer with SQUID detection, and Varian E-11 and Bruker EPR spectrometers under computer control with variable temperature and optical dewars. Extensive computing facilities are available as well.

In addition to these facilities, the Department benefits from close ties with the Laboratory for Advanced Materials; the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory; the Stanford Programs in Biophysics, and Molecular and Genetic Medicine; and other interdisciplinary facilities offering unique support and opportunities for research. The Laboratory for Advanced Materials is chartered to be a center of excellence in research of materials-related problems. The Laboratory houses facilities for electron and ion spectroscopy, probe and electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and for fabrication of non-linear optical devices, polymers, thin films, and semiconductors. The Stanford Sychrotron Radiation Laboratory is the world's leading center for characterization of materials by x-rays. This includes x-ray diffraction with an ultra-intense, tunable source, x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), extended fine-structure analysis (EXAFS), x-ray scattering from surfaces, soft x-ray analysis of surfaces, and vacuum ultraviolet and x-ray photelectron spectroscopies. Many of the pioneering applications of sychrotron radiation to problems in chemical physics, structural chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and biophysics have been initiated by faculty and students in Stanford's Chemistry Department. In recent years a number of chemistry students have been involved in interdisciplinary research programs with co-advisors from Applied Physics, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Cell Biology, Neurobiology, Genetics, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, and other departments.

The Stanford Chemistry Department is physically and intellectually located at the center of an enormous range of scientific enterprises which offer tremendous opportunities for curious and inventive young scientists. Stanford is also located in the midst of one of the largest concentrations of high-technology corporations in the world. This is an enormous asset to the University, as it provides close ties with industrial laboratories and opportunities for the development of new technologies. Among companies in regular contact with the faculty and students in the Department are: Alza, Chevron, Coherent, Genentech, Hewlett-Packard, IBM Research Laboratories, Raychem, Spectra-Physics, Roche Bioscience, and Varian. Consult Corporate Partners for a complete list. Large numbers of biotechnology, semiconductor, and laser companies have their roots in research undertaken at Stanford, helping to create an exciting and intense atmosphere of innovation and discovery.

Although not a part of the formal academic curriculum, the Corporate Partners Program, sponsored by the Department of Chemistry, offers unique opportunities for exposure to and interaction with the world of industrial science. Representatives of about 15 national and international concerns meet several times each year with students and faculty for one to three day symposia which cover both general and technical scientific topics. General subjects have included government regulation of research, opportunities at the interface between chemistry and the life sciences, communication in science, and new vistas in organic chemistry. Recent technical subjects have included high-performance polymers, lasers in analytical chemistry, colloids and interfaces, organometallic chemistry and materials science, chemistry in electronics and photonics, and several symposia have covered various aspects of catalysis. In addition, the W. S. Johnson Symposium in Organic Chemistry is held in October each year and the Paul Flory Conference (polymer science) is held in February each year. These symposia all involve the active participation of faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.

Many students find that the Corporate Partners Program also offers an excellent opportunity to make contact with representatives of industrial research laboratories for which they would like to work after leaving Stanford. Coming from a top-ranked Department, Stanford graduates are in an extremely competitive position in both the academic and industrial job markets. Recent graduates have taken positions in companies such as: Allied, Amoco, Bell Labs, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Chevron, Dow, DuPont, Eli Lilly, Exxon, Eastman Kodak, Glaxo, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, 3M, McKinsey & Co., Merck, Monsanto, Pfizer, Raychem, and Roche Bioscience. A large number of Stanford graduates choose academic careers in chemistry. Within the recent past students have taken positions at: Mount Holyoke College, MIT, Cornell, Harvard, Caltech, Carleton, UCSF, UCLA, UCSC, Columbia, Illinois, CU Boulder, UT Austin, Northeastern, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Wesleyan, to name a few.
