The Physical and Inorganic Chemistry Department (DQFI) was founded in 1997 as a result of the reorganization of the former Department of Chemistry into two separate units. Since its creation, the DQFI has incorporated specialists in different areas as Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Applied Physics, Materials Science and Crystallography to build up a high-quality research unit in Material Science, Catalysis, Cluster Chemistry and more recently also in Nanoscience and Bionanoscience.
