Inorganic Chemistry represents a very broad, rapidly expanding, and exciting area of contemporary science that covers both synthetic molecular and materials chemistry and its applications to catalysis, nanotechnology, organic synthesis, biology and medicine. This is reflected in the broad range of research interests of the faculty who offer internationally recognized programs covering the chemistry of the elements. Hands-on student access to a complete range of instruments is available, including new, state of the art facilities for the characterization of molecular, nano and meso materials.
