INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Inorganic chemistry covers a broad spectrum of synthetic materials, including atoms, molecules, coordination compounds, clusters, nanomaterials, and solid-state materials. These inorganic materials exhibit versatile catalytic, magnetic, optical, and electronic properties, which are crucial for a wide range of applications, including catalysis, energy conversion, battery development, and information technologies.
Our research programs include:
- Cluster Chemistry
- Coordination Chemistry
- Nanochemistry
- Organometallic Chemistry
- Solid-State Chemistry
