Inorganic Chemistry

Research groups in Inorganic Chemistry work on various aspects of metal chemistry and functional materials. Together, the groups cover a broad research field and contribute both experimental and theoretical approaches.

About Inorganic chemistry

Research in Inorganic Chemistry focuses on understanding and designing metal complexes with unique properties.

The work ranges from developing new catalysts capable of activating small molecules to creating materials with magnetic properties at the molecular level.

By combining synthesis, experiments, and modeling, the research contributes to the development of functional materials with applications in areas such as energy, chemistry, and advanced materials technology.
