Inorganic Research

The Penn State Department of Chemistry has one of the leading Inorganic Chemistry groups in the world. Faculty research interests include the traditional areas of bioinorganic, coordination, main group, organometallic, and solid-state chemistry, as well as strong interdisciplinary efforts in inorganic materials, nanoscience, metalloenzymes, active matter, and catalysis. Several groups seek to understand how metal-containing proteins and enzymes function. Other groups develop cutting edge methods to synthesize and characterize new molecules, polymers, solids, and nanoparticles and apply them to forefront applications in energy, medicine, and electronics.
