As part of the NEMZ-KI grant, Sara Franchi visited us for a week to perform single-crystal X-ray diffraction and EPR measurements. In addition to the successful work, he also got to know Budapest, and we also visited Szentendre and Visegrad. We are glad to have you as a guest in our lab, we hope to see you again next year. In the meantime, we wish you continued successful work! Summary of the project Radiometal-based radiopharmaceuticals offer a unique opportunity to Read More …

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 …

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 …
