Physical

Research in Physical Chemistry at KFUPM encompasses a wide variety of intriguing areas. The research focus on diverse current topics such as solution thermodynamics, solid-state NMR, mechanistic chemistry of chemical, photo, and electrochemical oxidation using different spectroscopic techniques (e.g. EPR) to characterize the properties and reactivity of nanomaterials and free radicals.The research area also includes chemical kinetics using Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Our research team members also work in the field of theoretical and computational Chemistry to investigate the structural stability, solvation and experimental vibrational and NMR spectra of organic compounds and important pharmaceutical drugs.
