Welcome to the website of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Vienna's Faculty of Chemistry. Under the leadership of Bernhard Keppler (Head of Institute from 1996 to 2024), our research focused on selected aspects of bioinorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, environmental and radiochemistry, synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, bioanalytics, and cell biology, with a particular emphasis on the development of new antitumour therapeutics. In October 2025, Elisa Tomat took up the Inorganic Chemistry professorship.
