Research in the Inorganic Chemistry division is very diverse and includes broad subtopics including photochemistry, synthetic main-group chemistry, classic coordination chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, theoretical calculations, and chemical education. Techniques such as resonance Raman, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, FTIR, UV-visible/near-IR absorption, X-ray crystallography, X-ray absorption, magnetics, natural and magnetically induced circular dichroism, and electrochemistry are used to understand the structure and reactivity of metal complexes and metalloprotein sites. The Inorganic Division is also home to the Center for Metalloenzyme Studies, a centralized collaboration of UGA scientists interested in the role that metal ions play in key biological processes.
