Welcome to the website of the Laboratory of Photochemistry and Materials Science - LAFOT-CM
​
The research group is located at the Institute of Chemistry of Federal University of Uberlandia and its activities are focused on synthesis and characterization of coordination compounds and inorganic semiconductors, which are applied to solar energy conversion, catalysis, sensing and as potential drugs. Since 1994, the group proceeds the structural, spectroscopic and physico-chemical characterization of different systems employing a variety of experimental techniques and quantum mechanical methods.
