The Institute of Inorganic Chemistry (IIC) is focused on basic research in the area of inorganic and bio-inorganic systems oriented to optimization and development of new materials and technological processes in the following branches of science: inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, inorganic technologies and materials, theoretical chemistry, nanotechnology.

The main subjects of the research are the following:

• Relations between composition, properties and structure of inorganic substances, mainly advanced ceramic materials, molten salt systems and hydrosilicates.
• Thermodynamics of multicomponent systems.
• Features and chemical reactions in inorganic systems, including interface of phases.
• Development and application of theoretical and experimental methods for the determination of the structure and properties of matter.

• Porous bioactive glass microspheres prepared by flame synthesis process
• Four-component relativistic time-dependent density-functional theory using a stable noncollinear DFT ansatz applicable to both closed- and open-shell systems
• Bioactive silicon nitride by surface thermal treatment
• Micro scale fracture strength of grains and grain boundaries in polycrystalline La-doped β-Si₃N₄ ceramics
• Wire electrical discharge machinable SiC with GNPs and GO as the electrically conducting filler
• The differing responses of various techniques in measuring the phase transformations of K₂ZrF₆
• A precursor approach for the development of lace-like Fe2O3 nanocrystallites triggered by pressure dependent nucleation and growth of akaganeite over clay based composites for toluene combustion
