Course Objective

The objective of this course is the fundamental research in Inorganic Chemistry which
is pursued by both experimental and theoretical methods. Current research activities
focus on; Preparing and characterization of different adsorbents, nanomaterials, cross linkingpowder and hydrogels, clay supported metal complex catalysts Synthesis of inorganic and organometallic compounds via thermal and photochemical methods and their purification and characterization Adapted to the research projects of those students presenting a thesis in inorganic chemistry, or upon demand of interested students.
