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.

• Deeper understanding of paramagnetic effects in NMR spectra of transition metal complexes
• Nanomaterials based on clay minerals and poly(2-oxazolines)
• YAG:Eu microspheres for high-power LED colour converters
• Complexity of the KNa2ZrF7, KNa2HfF7 and KNa2(Hf,Zr)F7 compounds
• A method for producing eutectic ceramics composites based on the pseudo-ternary system of Al2O3-Al3Y5O12-ZrO2
• Combined study of gas desorption processes at high temperatures in N-doped graphene
• Stimuli-responsive optical features of naphthalene core dication confined in 2D material
• Development of B4C-SiC composites with improved high temperature properties
• Determination of the Na3AlF6–Y2O3 Phase Diagram and its Implications for Low – Temperature YAG / Nd:YAG Synthesis
