Organic chemistry

Organic chemistry is a field of science that focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of organic molecules. The field combines general knowledge about organic molecules, methods of their synthesis and structural analysis, empirical relationships between structure and chemical reactivity, and computational chemistry. Organic chemistry deals with the synthesis of new organic molecules, chemical reactivity and the underlying mechanisms, kinetics of chemical reactions, the development of new synthetic methodologies, and stereochemical aspects of organic reactions. Structure determination and analysis for novel organic molecules is based on the use of modern physico-chemical methods, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, absorption/emission / Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography and high-performance chromatography, which are an inherent part of the chemistry research.

The organic chemistry program at Masaryk University provides students with the opportunity to obtain an education at the bachelor, master, and PhD levels. We offer students competitive know-how within specialized courses, significant involvement in research in scientific laboratories, internships at quality institutions abroad, and support during subsequent career steps.
