Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Organic and Natural Materials Chemistry is a discipline that focuses on the study of carbon-containing chemical compounds, which are essential elements in all living things and many synthetically produced molecules. Topics studied include organic molecular structure, physical and chemical properties, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, and various analytical methods to identify and characterize organic compounds. One of the main objectives of this group is to understand in depth the properties and behavior of organic compounds under various conditions, both in the laboratory and in nature. This includes how organic compounds react, interact with the environment, and play a role in various aspects of life, such as the pharmaceutical, fuel, cosmetic, food, and materials industries. Organic compounds have important roles in various application areas, such as the pharmaceutical industry for the development of drugs, the fuel industry for the development of environmentally friendly fuels, and the cosmetics industry for beauty products. The group also focuses on developing efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical methods of synthesizing organic compounds. The development of new materials with desirable properties is also an important concern in this research.
