The Research Center on Fundamental and Applied Heterochemistry (METALOMICA) deals with the role of heteroatoms in chemistry - form heterocyclic chemistry to organometallic, inorganic and bio-inorganic systems. The topics of research and analysis generally pertain to the pervasive role of metals in catalysis (as standard reagents or as targets for developing new methodologies), in mechanistic investigations, in the development or exploration of novel structures and materials, in drug design, and/or in biological interactions of endogenous or exogenous (e.g., drugs, pollutants) metal- containing components.
There are three sets of laboratories, grouped under the following three themes: Applied Heterocyclic Organic and Organometallic Chemistry (AHOOC), The Chemistry of Low-Coordinated p-Block Elements (CLCPE), and Biological Inorganic Chemistry (BIC).
