Inorganic
The Division of Inorganic Chemistry at NC State is internationally recognized for its research achievements in areas critical to the future of the Department of Chemistry, and more broadly to the success of the College of Sciences and NC State.
The division has developed with the recognition that fundamental knowledge in chemical structure, bonding and reactivity is crucial to many disciplines, including engineering, materials science, biology and biochemistry, agriculture, and marine and atmospheric sciences. The application of fundamental discoveries through collaboration across these disciplines is invaluable for realizing transformative innovations that address complex, pressing global challenges in energy, health, and the environment. Thus, the division is committed to ensuring research strengths across diverse aspects of inorganic chemistry, including expertise in the synthesis characterization of inorganic molecules and materials, bioinorganic chemistry, solar chemistry, and photochemistry.
