The Department of Physical Organic Chemistry (formerly the Department of Structure of Organic Compounds) is a multidisciplinary team that studies the structure and properties of organic, organoelement and coordination compounds using spectral, structural and other physicochemical methods of research. The main scientific interests of the department's staff are:
- organometallic and coordination chemistry
- ligand reactivity and activation of small molecules
- metal-mediated organic synthesis
- non-covalent interactions
