Solid state chemistry in the Department of General, Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and application of solid materials with a wide range of chemical compositions and structures. Structure-property-relationships help in understanding how the atomic or molecular structure of a material influences its physical and chemical properties. This again helps in predicting the behavior of materials and in designing specific materials with desired properties. Overall, solid state chemistry aims to advance our understanding of solid materials and to develop new materials with enhanced or novel properties for a wide range of scientific, industrial, and technological applications.
