INORGANIC CHEMISTRY IN THE MIRROR OF TODAY (according to the materials of the 21st International Conference of Inorganic Chemistry of Ukraine (XXI ICICU)

The article contains an overview of invited, plenary, oral and other reports of modern research in the field of inorganic chemistry, presented at the XXI International Conference on Inorganic Chemistry of Ukraine (XXI ICICU), which took place on June 3-6, 2024 in the city of Uzhgorod on the basis of the Uzhhorod National university. Research is grouped into four areas: chemistry of inorganic and coordination compounds, including medical and pharmaceutical chemistry; characteristics and properties of new inorganic substances, crystal chemistry; physical-inorganic chemistry and nanochemistry; dual purpose materials, alternative energy sources, «green» chemistry. Plenary reports at the conference were delivered by: academicians of the National Aca­demy of Sciences of Ukraine, AnatoliyBelous (V.I. Vernadsky Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), Yulian Vysochanskii (Uzhhorod National University), Roman Gladyshevsky (Ivan Franko National University of Lviv), corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Ihor Fritsky (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv), professors: Ihor Barchiy (Uzhhorod National University), Viktor Hlukhyy (Technical University of Munich, Germany), Oleksandr Golub (National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy), Ruslan Mariychuk (Pryashov University, Slovakia), Olena Martsynko (I.I. Mechnikov National University of Odessa), Michal Piaseckyi (Jan Dlugosz University in Częstochowa, Poland) and others. The conference materials (ISBN 978-617-8321-25-3) have published abstracts of 115 reports of the conference participants (https//www.xxi-icicu.online). The general discussion and resolution concluded that scientific research and reports presented in the field of modern inorganic che­mistry are relevant and, to the extent possible, aimed at increasing the defense capability and economic development of Ukraine. A resolution was adopted with recommendations for topical chemical research for the future and a number of other expedient measures.
