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 …

Co-authors: L. Bereczki, N.V. May, D.V. Horváth, R. Palkó, T. Soós, P. Bombicz Title: New porous frameworks assisted by hydrogen and halogen bonds Abstract: The discovery of the metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has opened a new branch of research two decades ago. The covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were synthesized Read More …
FWO-MTA mobility project – first visit
By the help of a joint FWO-MTA mobility grant Dr. Vincent Ching and Kevin Nys visited our laboratory between 12-16 June 2018. The title of the project is “Structural analysis of copper-drug complexes relevant for chelation therapy by using pulsed-EPR and SXRD methods”. By the help of this FWO-MTA mobility grant our goal is to use pulsed-EPR methods to determine the couplings of far ligand protons for the CuL2 complexes of some hydroxypyridinecarboxylic acids (HPC) in order to detect the Read More …
Professor Alajos Kálmán passed away on 26th December 2017.
He was one of the most prominent scientists in crystallography of our time. He was a most productive, widely respected, much-admired and inspiring scientific leader. We recall him as an enthusiastic and entertaining head, colleague, teacher and friend who loved crystallography and made a huge contribution to it. We treasure our memories with him. He will be missed by the crystallographic community. Biography
