RESEARCH

Main focus of the research of our team – main group metal-based systems of homo- and heterometallic bonds. Principal objects of the research are mixed subvalent metal halides and chalcogenides. The aspects investigated include crystal and electronic structures, as well as the structure-property relationships with particular emphasis on anisotropic physical properties of low-dimensional compounds. Research directions include:

• Synthesis and investigation of homonuclear polyatomic clusters of main-group elements.
• Design, synthesis and investigations of inorganic compounds featuring extended systems of homo- and heterometallic bonds of varying (1D, 2D) dimensionality.
• First-principle studies of homo- and heterometallic bonding and direct-space bonding analysis
