独特的特性和功能来自新颖的结构。利用在整个元素周期表中使用元素构建的化学体系结构，我们致力于在化学合成，高能效和结构选择性化学转化，光–质相互作用，能量转换和方法论等方面进行新发现，以探究支撑几何和电子结构的方法从分子到材料的完整化学反应。
Distinct properties and functions emerge from novel structures. Using chemical architectures built with elements across the entire periodic table, we work towards new discoveries in chemical synthesis, energy-efficient and structure-selective chemical transformations, light–matter interactions, energy conversion, and methodologies to interrogate geometric and electronic structures that underpin the full array of chemistry displayed from molecules to materials. Our department maintains a wide range of facilities that uniquely enable cutting edge research in inorganic chemistry. Multiple Ph.D.-level staff scientists actively work with student researchers to leverage the capability of these instruments. The diverse array of advanced instrumentation, coupled with hands-on training and world-class expertise, provides students with the tools needed to push their projects in exciting new directions. Several departmental facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, as well as engineering support, are particularly useful resources for inorganic chemistry students.
