The design and synthesis of compounds with novel structures are among the most essential activities in molecular chemistry research. The incentives to prepare such new molecules are, apart from curiosity, their anticipated physical, chemical or biological properties. Strategic aspects of the HRSMC synthetic research are the development of new (bio)catalytic reactions and the investigation of their mechanisms, the synthesis of magnetic and conducting materials, and the development of methodologies for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. A great variety of techniques is used for the synthesis of the compounds as well as for the elucidation of their molecular structure and (physico)chemical and biological properties.
