CNR-ICCOM Information

The Institute of Chemistry of OrganoMetallic Compounds (ICCOM) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) was established in 2001 following the merging of the Institute for the Study of Stereochemistry and Energetics of Coordination Compounds (ISSECC) of Florence, founded by Luigi Sacconi in Florence at the end of the 70’s, with three CNR Centers located in Florence, Pisa and Bari. ICCOM's mission is to contribute with innovative solutions to national and international research in the Strategic Research Areas such as Green Chemistry, Chemistry and Energy, Advanced Materials, Chemistry for Life Sciences , Chemistry for Cultural Heritage, Computational Chemistry. In June 2023, the ICCOM staff, in the three sites of Sesto Fiorentino CNR Research Area, Pisa CNR Research Area and at the Bari site located in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Bari, included 69 researchers, 2 technologists, 19 laboratory technicians and administration personnel, together with 28 University Associates and 30 among PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and grantees. Currently, to CNR-ICCOM is also associated the Trieste Third Parties Research Unit (URT) located in the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science of the Trieste University Campus.
