Faculty of Chemistry

Courses in Chemistry started as early as 1755. Great Russian scientist Michail Lomonosov was one of the best chemists at his time. In 1755 he had organized the Laboratory of Chemistry at Moscow University which became the base of the Faculty of Chemistry.

Most of world recognized Russian chemists studied and then delivered lectures at our Faculty of Chemistry. 12 full members of Russian Academy of Sciences, 3 corresponding members and 180 professors holding PhD and Doctoral Degrees in Chemistry are now teaching a new generation of chemists to bring up high class specialists in modern Chemistry.

Research in all branches of modern chemical science is being carried out at our Faculty including studies on new semiconductors and high temperature superconductors, sophisticated synthesis of hundreds of new complex organic and organoelement compounds, new medicines, new polymers with liquid crystal properties. Scientists of the Faculty contributed a lot into the development of modern theory of Catalysis, Photochemistry, Electrochemistry and High Dispersion Systems.

Our scientists are accomplishing more than 200 projects in the frame work of Russian Foundation for Basic Researches. At present about 30 projects are successfully realized according the INTAS Programme.
