The Faculty of Chemistry at Kemerovo State University comprises five main departments which study specific aspects of chemistry.
The Department of Inorganic Chemistry was founded in 1974. It deals with the pedagogical problems such as organization of educational process at the Faculty of Chemistry, development of teaching methods etc.
The Department studies diverse aspects of chemistry associated with Mendeleyev’s Periodic Table of Elements. The subjects investigated include the properties and structures of aqueous solutions, the chemistry of rare metal oxide compounds, the chemistry of complexes.
The work at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry is concerned with the development of new methods and means of latent information registration. It also studies the silver chloride microcrystals formation in the course of mass crystallization and the peculiarities of photographic process.
The group of researchers (at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and the Department of General Physics) with Professor B. A. Sechkaryov at the head carries out the fundamental research in photographic chemistry. It makes experiments and investigations into creating a variety of films1 used in industry. Some researchers examine chemical principles of image formation2: preparing of emulsions, sensitization3 of emulsions, photographic layer development4. Special attention is devoted to the study of photochemical processes in gases.
Vocabulary notes:
1 film – зд. пленка
2 image formation – образование (формирование) изображения

The Department of Organic Chemistry provides training of students in the fields of theoretical organic chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry and organic analysis. Scientific interests cover the structure and reactivity of organic compounds. The Department also develops new methods in synthetic organic chemistry.
Many investigations at the Department of Organic Chemistry are related to the chemistry of quinones, the reactions of quinones and quinone compounds.
The scientists of the Department search for new reactions and methods of synthesis, they deal with the synthesis of new chemical compounds.
The Department of Organic Chemistry carries out fundamental and applied research of higher molecular compounds. The aim of these investigations is to study the principles of physical and chemical processes in polymers under conditions of heating, ultra-violet and gamma-radiation. The researchers modify structures and properties of polymers, create new polymer compounds.
The staff of the Department is engaged in studying aliphatic compounds5, the chemistry of arenes6 (aromatic compounds).
They use chemical and physical methods of investigation: organic synthesis, gas chromatography7, mass spectroscopy8 (MS), ultra-violet (UV) spectroscopy9, infra-red (IR) spectroscopy10, nuclear magnetic resonance11 (NMR). Also, the researchers examine these methods and search for new ways of their application.
The investigations of the Department of Organic Chemistry are of great value. So, some of them are awarded special grants.

The Department of Analytical Chemistry was founded in 1976. The Department is engaged in creating universal electrode for voltamperometric measurements to identify organic and inorganic substances in trace concentrations12.
In 1981 the Department started to study radiation chemistry of hard inorganic compounds.
The researchers of the Department take part in the development of new methods applied in analytical chemistry. Every year a great deal of research is aimed at detection and identification of elements.
The major interests of investigations cover such scientific aspects as photochemical behaviour of radioactive substances, particularly radioactive analysis of actinide13 and transuranium elements, solid electrolytes and others.
The Department of Analytical Chemistry presents the general theoretical concepts of analytical chemistry at lectures and laboratory classes when training specialists. The Department develops special courses for the students of the Faculty such as «The Chemistry of High Energies», «Radiation Chemistry of Organic Compounds», «The Chemical Control of Environment». In the laboratories of inorganic chemistry the students learn to use methods of separation (for example, chromatography) and concentration.

The Department of Solid State Chemistry was established in 1978. The scientific work at the Department is focused on examining the stability of solids under radiation and ionic effect of energy factors. The scientists here work on the fundamentals of solid state chemistry.
There are three research groups at the Department: they study special processes of decomposition, radiation-chemical14 decomposition of initiating Explosives15, mathematical modeling of kinetics of solid phase reactions16.
The students are given lectures on general theoretical concepts of solid state chemistry. Their laboratory work is concerned with chemical processes in solids including excitation, migration, relaxation and localization of exitons in solids. The students also study some chemical changes in solids – thermal, photochemical, radiation-chemical, electropolar etc.
The results of the investigations at the Department of Solid State Chemistry are of scientific and practical significance for the cosmonautics and different related areas17.
