Institute of Inorganic Chemistry

The Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at Heidelberg University is part of the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences. It is dedicated to basic and applied research in the field of inorganic chemistry, particularly in the areas of coordination chemistry, main-group chemistry, molecular catalysis, bioinorganic systems, and materials chemistry.

The Institute of Inorganic Chemistry focuses its research on the fields of coordination chemistry and molecular catalysis, the modeling of complex molecules, bioinorganic chemistry, and the chemistry of nanoscale clusters. In addition, the institute conducts research in applied quantum chemistry, the chemistry of functionalized polymers, and the synthesis of new materials, as well as N-heteropolycycles as functional materials (SFB 1249).

Heidelberg University offers the following chemistry degree programs: Bachelor of Science Chemistry (100%), Bachelor of Science Chemistry (50%), Master of Science Chemistry, Master of Education Chemistry, as well as chemistry lectures in other natural science programs (e.g. biology, physics, earth sciences, medicine). The Institute of Inorganic Chemistry contributes to the teaching of all of the above-mentioned degree programs through lectures, laboratory courses, and seminars
