Inorganic Chemistry
Overview
Our inorganic research covers the chemical bonding and molecular structure of all elements in the periodic table to the theoretical principles for coordination compounds based on transition- or main-group elements. Specific areas of interest include the design and synthesis of transition metal catalysts and develop the new properties of organometallic and inorganic materials. We also address problems in modern society by providing new materials, including porous-, energy-, and semiconducting-materials.
