Research
There
exist a host of research activities in the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry.
They all emerge from the active participation of the Lab's Faculty members
in Graduate Programs within the School
of Engineering, other Schools
at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and other National
and International Curricula
and Graduate School Programs.
The Lab research activities cover a wide spectrum of interests reflecting
the specific areas of concentration and research discipline of each individual
Faculty member. Some of the specific areas of focus for the Laboratory of
Inorganic Chemistry are given below:
- Design,
synthesis and characterization of inorganic-organic hybrid materials in photoactive devices
- Biotoxic
metal ions in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders
- Natural
antioxidants and metal ions in human nutrition.
-
Carcinogenic metals in the transcriptional regulation of signal transducing
genes via minisatellite DNA in the human genome.
- Insulin
mimetic activity and chemistry of non-toxic water soluble vanadium(IV,V)-carboxylate
compounds.
- Design,synthesis,
spectroscopic and structural characterization of inorganic clusters as
minimal representations of active sites in metalloenzymes.
-
Electrocatalytic synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds
- Electrochemical
removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions
- Photocatalytic
degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solutions
- Supercritical
water oxidation of organic pollutants
- Inorganic
Chemistry :Synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials with
technological applications.
- Environmental
Chemistry :Study of the formation-decomposition of organometallic compounds
and POP's in natural water ecosystems.
-
Ecotoxicology :Toxicity studies of various compounds, wastewater samples
and environmental sediments using selected certified index-organisms.
