8. Description of the employing unit

Institute of Organic Chemistry is one of the units of Chemical Department of the Lodz University of Technology. Was created in 1970 as a result of changes provided by Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The Institute is a scientific unit conducting research in the field of organic chemistry. The main lines of research concern the methodology of organic synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, synthesis and the use of organic catalysts with a strictly defined spatial structure. The important aspect of our research is understanding the mechanisms of organocatalytic reactions based on kinetic and synthetic techniques, particularly with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Recently we also conducting research on mass spectrometer coupled with multidiversion liquid chromatograph. The Institute’s research work is focused on practical use in industry and medicine. We also run many projects, foreign and national.
