We are engaged in research in the field of solid state chemistry and materials chemistry.

Materials presently studied comprise

Ternary and quaternary metal chalcogenides

Metal thiophospahtes and selenophosphates

Nanocomponent materials

Narrow semiconductors

Nanoporous and mesoporous non-oxidic materials

Intermatallic alloys.

The research activities in developing a methodical synthesis approach to all of the above and understanding at the atomic level, thus enhancing the understanding of the relationships between different structures and structural types, and chemical and physical properties of new materials. Such understanding is the "holly grail" of chemistry.
