Organic Chemistry, is a division of the Department of Chemistry (KILU) at Lund University, located at Kemicentrum. We are engaged in teaching undergraduate courses in general, inorganic, organic, medicinal, environmental and computational chemistry, as well as toxicology and structural analysis.

We now have a wiki server running, which we can use to make personal pages, to make information available within the department, or as a tool in teaching.

Research at Organic Chemistry involves:

• green chemistry
• chemical biology: small organic molecules as tools in life sciences with special emphasis on constituents of fungi and medicinal plants, DNA recognition, tubulin-modulating molecules, and glycobiology
• synthetic method development with special emphasis on asymmetric synthesis and ligand construction
• synthesis of natural products and derivatives
• self-assembly and supramolecular catalysis
• host-guest phenomena of synthetic receptors
• organometallic chemistry of the transition metals with an emphasis on activation of small molecules and unreactive bonds
• bioorganic stereochemistry
• computational modeling and design of novel biologically active compounds
