Inorganic chemistry covers all elements in the periodic table, making it an exceptionally broad discipline. The Purdue inorganic faculty's research spans from solid-state materials to biological inorganic chemistry and nanotechnology, offering graduate students numerous engaging possibilities. Studies in organometallic chemistry focus on catalysis, metal clusters, compounds with metal-metal bonds, redox-active metal-ligand systems, and nanoparticle surface chemistry. Current materials research explores conductive polymers, adhesives, two-dimensional materials, and biological substances. Bioinorganic investigations include metal-protein interactions, structural-functional analyses, and connections to various health conditions and wellness subjects.
