Main scientific and applied research fields:

1. Synthesis and study of physico-chemical and coordination properties of porphyrins, metalloporphyrins and their azaanalogues.
2. Study of acid-base properties of porphyrins and porphyrazines.
3. Spatially distorted and oligomeric porphyrins.
4. New materials and technologies based on surface modified polymers.

The Department takes an active part in research and teaching staff training. The Department has a postgraduate course in “Organic chemistry”. Its academic and research staff  often participates in different Russian and International conferences.
