Inorganic Chemistry

This department has five full-time faculty members. These professors are of paramount scientific level in the country. There are 4 active and full-time research laboratories in the group where graduate and postgraduate students are engaged in research. Also, an educational laboratory is dedicated to undergraduate students for Mineral Chemistry Laboratory (1) and (2) courses. Due to its high scientific potentials, this educational group can provide scientific and research services in line with the industry-university relationship.

With regard to the skills gained in mining chemistry and mining related topics, graduate students can work in the petrochemical and petroleum industries, mining industries including metallurgical and nonmetallic industries, and in research and education centers.

The vast range of topics in mineral chemistry brings about a great variety of job opportunities in this field in comparison to other chemistry educational groups and chance of attraction to labor market is more for them.

Inorganic chemistry deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds, usually containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry–including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, and agriculture.
