The Institute of Inorganic Chemistry (IIC) is focused on basic research in the area of inorganic and bio-inorganic systems oriented to optimization and development of new materials and technological processes in the following branches of science: inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, inorganic technologies and materials, theoretical chemistry, nanotechnology.

The main subjects of the research are the following:

• Relations between composition, properties and structure of inorganic substances, mainly advanced ceramic materials, molten salt systems and hydrosilicates.
• Thermodynamics of multicomponent systems.
• Features and chemical reactions in inorganic systems, including interface of phases.
• Development and application of theoretical and experimental methods for the determination of the structure and properties of matter.

• Application of high temperature HT NMR spectroscopy in investigation of Na₃AlF₆-(Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ or FeO systems
• Enhanced luminescence of cyanine dye NK88 adsorbed on layered silicate saponite
• Acceleration of relativistic electron dynamics by means of X2C transformation: application to the calculation of nonlinear optical properties
• Hollow amorphous and polycrystalline YAG microspheres prepared by flame synthesis
• A novel structurally unique surfactant for polymer-clay nanocomposites
• Functional properties of alumina/multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)
• Aluminate glasses with luminescent properties
• Electronic structure and luminescent properties of rare-earth oxide doped silicon oxynitride phosphors
• Corrosion testing on construction materials
