About the Division
Organic chemistry has an important role in the understanding of all aspects of the evolution of living organisms on Earth. “Organic” refers to the compounds that contain the element carbon. We owe all our existence to carbon’s unique nature.
In our division, several research studies have been conducted on the areas of Organic Synthesis, Polymer Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, and Natural Product Chemistry. We are dealing with the design and synthesis of new organic compounds for different applications, and especially, we are working on the synthesis of organic dye molecules such as phthalocyanines. Some members of our research teams try to answer some of the problems in organic chemistry and focus on the understanding of the mechanisms behind different organic and biological reactions by using computer simulations and theoretical calculations. Furthermore, in this division, we are also working in the area of synthesis of functional polymeric materials for several applications such as fuel cells, Li-ion batteries, flame-retardant coatings, biomaterials, sensors, etc.
We aim to solve the problems and meet the needs of the advanced engineering materials, various high-tech applications, energy-related materials, aerospace engineering applications, medical and drug industries.
