Organic and Biochemistry
Department of Organic and Biochemistry
Head of Department:
Dr.Zarrin Ghasemi
1) Department of Organic and Biochemistry as a sub-division of former Chemistry Department, started its academic activities in 1966 and was established as a Department in 1991.
2) Presently, there are 6 full-time Chemists serving at the Department, 2 of whom are professors, 2 are associate professors and 2 are assistant professors.
3) Organic Chemistry Department will continue to offer different courses for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students. Research work on the polymer, Preparation and characterization of novel functional polymers with metal complexability, synthesis of block and graft copolymers, Photochemistry and synthesis of hetrocyclic and macrocyclic compounds. The synthesis and studying of some unusual reaction mechanisms of highly sterically crowded organosilicon compounds will be the main areas of the Department.
4) Organic chemistry is the study of structural and conformational features of different organic molecules of special interests with NMR, IR and MS techniques and new methodology in organic synthesis.
