Research environment
The unit is co-localised with the other groups in the Department of Chemistry and 
thus part of the strong interdisciplinary chemistry environment at UH. Together with 
the Centre of Excellence in Computational Molecular Science, this has created a 
strong research environment for experimental physical chemistry. The unit has access 
to a number of experimental laboratories that specialise in rare-gas chemistry and 
ultra-sensitive molecular spectroscopy, and there is a strong experimental tradition 
both in maintaining and developing advanced optical and cryogenic laboratories. The 
unit is strongly committed to remaining an experimental laboratory, despite 
increasing efforts in computational chemistry.
