A leading scientific center in Ukraine in the field of chemistry and chemical materials science.
The Institute of Functional Materials Chemistry, a part of the SSI "Institute for Single Crystals" of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, began its work in 2005 and has since grown into a powerful center for fundamental and applied research.
The Institute's scientists conduct world-class interdisciplinary research in the fields of modern chemistry and chemical materials science, developing functional materials for a wide range of applications, nano- and supramolecular systems, as well as cutting-edge chemical theories, approaches, and methods.
Key scientific achievements include the development of a strategy for chemo-controlled cyclocondensations, a new approach to describing molecular crystals based on energy vector diagrams, and the creation of fluorescent probes and markers for medical diagnostics and therapy. The Institute has also developed several pharmaceutical products currently manufactured in Ukraine, along with regulatory documentation in the pharmaceutical sector.
Among the promising research directions are the development of innovative high-efficiency sorbents and extractants for the selective removal of toxic substances, microextraction systems based on non-ionic surfactants and eutectic mixtures for analytical chemistry, as well as microbiological studies.
