Inorganic Chemistry

This track draws on diverse strengths in many areas of Inorganic Chemistry including: nano-materials synthesis and characterization, energy conversion and storage, organometallic synthesis, catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry and metalloprotein design, inorganic and inorganic-organic hybrid materials, structure determination, spectroscopy and sensor design. Groups in this track are highly multi-disciplinary and cross-listed with several other tracks in the department. They utilize several departmental and campus-wide analytical facilities for characterization and fabrication of materials including those at the Institute of Materials Discovery and Design (https://imdd.ucsd.edu) and Nano3 (https://nano3.calit2.net). Several members of the inorganic track are founding participants in the recently formed UCSD Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (https://mrsec.ucsd.edu) supported by the National Science Foundation.
