Main results

Investigations of the influence of the electronic structure on the nuclei configuration and dynamics were crowned with the discovery entitled „The effect of tunnel cleavage of energetic levels of polyatomic systems in the state of electronic degeneration”.
Important also were the developments in the theory and practice of the template synthesis of coordination compounds of transition metals with organic ligands of chelating and macrocyclic type, amongst which compounds of practical utility were marked out.
Original methods were devised related to the synthesis of new coordination compounds of biometals with polyfunctional ligands, including compounds with significant antitumor antiviral, anti-chlorosis activity, as well as compounds with psychotropic properties.
The scientific school in the field of natural compounds chemistry, founded by the institute, is a leader in the study of superacidic cyclization of terpenes. The laws of this reaction were established for various classes of terpene compounds (alcohols, their acetates, acids, esters, phenyl sulphones etc.).
Technologies of the production of activated carbon from vegetal by-products were elaborated to be used for the detoxification of human body, for treatment of waste waters, of surface and ground waters.
