Tamás Gyula Gál worked in our Research group between 2015 and 2020, in the Chemical Crystallography Research Laboratory of the Structure Research Center. He started his PhD study in 2016, one year after joining the group, at the Eötvös Loránd University, György Hevesy, Doctoral School of Chemistry, Faculty of Science. During his PhD work Tamás studied the structure of bioactive organic compounds and their metal complexes in solid phase by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. This included the exploration of Read More …

We congratulate the two awardees of the Alajos Kálmán Prize: 2020: Prof Mátyás Czugler 2021: Prof László Párkányi The award ceremony will take place 10:00 Friday, 24 September 2021 at the Main Hall of the Fasori Evangélikus Gimnázium (H-1071 Budapest, Városligeti fasor 17-21.) during the annual meeting of the Hungarian Chemical Society. Prof László Párkányi delivers his awardee lecture with the title: “1976: turning point in crystallographic computing” It is an open lecture, everyone is welcome who are interested in.

Crystals under Study The Chemical Crystallography Laboratory was open for visitors under the event of Researcher’s Night organised at 27.09.2019. Salt crystals of different origin and colouring components together with flower leafs and stamens could be look under the optical microscope. Visitors could also get to know the X-ray diffraction technique and take a closer look at the instrument.

The International Alajos Kálmán Prize is awarded to an individual researcher, in recognition for outstanding scientific contributions, in the field of structural sciences, within the last 5-10 years. The Prize was established by the Hungarian Chemical Society, and is endorsed by the European Crystallographic Association. It is awarded twice, in a three-year cycle, at the ECMs. The selection of the awardee is conducted by ECA SIG13, although the recognised field is wider, including all structural sciences. The prize consists of Read More …

The Chemical Crystallography Group was awarded an International Excellence (KH) OTKA grant: “Research team with significant achievements of internationally outstanding impact “. Title: Supramolecular chemistry in solid state Principal Investigator: Petra Bombicz Participants: Nóra Veronika May Laura Nagyné Bereczki Roberta Palkó Tamás Holczbauer Abstract: Supramolecular chemistry is a highly interdisciplinary field of science covering chemical, physical and biological features. The supramolecular interactions are responsible for the self-assembly of molecules in liquid and solid states. Study of non-covalent interactions is crucial Read More …

Title: Supramolecular interactions and polymorphy, effect of temperature and pressure Abstract: Most of the appliances we use in everyday life are made of solid state materials for example drug, dye or casual objects. The function and lifetime of these objects are important. The understanding and the manipulation of secondary interactions in solid state may provide longer lifetime, different functions, new application for the objects. For example a new polymorph of a known drug may be more advantageous for human consumption, and less Read More …

Petra Bombicz was elected to the Chair of the Special Interest Group of the European Crystallographic Association: “Molecular Structure and Chemical Properties” (SIG13 of ECA) for the period of 2018-2021.
