Introducing the Department
Department of Chemistry started education to teach chemistry in 1993 within the Faculty of Art and Science. In our department, there are 5 divisions which are Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Biochemistry. The education activities in Chemistry Department has been carried out with 16 professors, 6 associate professors, 1 assistant professors, and 3 research assistants.
In addition to the student laboratories, there are 12 research laboratories.
To train modern and democratic, competent, ethic, hardworking and qualified chemists and scientists.

Inorganic Chemistry
Introducing the Division
Inorganic Chemistry is a field of chemistry that covers the properties, chemical structure and behavior of all 118 elements of the periodic table and takes an important part in the studies in other disciplines. Inorganic Chemistry is a basic chemistry science efficiently utilized in many fields such as inorganic industrial production processes, materials science, catalysts, semiconductor and superconductors, soil-agriculture, medicine, environmental sciences, construction, mine-metallurgy, nanotechnology.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry is a chemistry division of which aim is to recognize chemical compounds involved in living organisms, their properties and interactions. Biochemistry, which is a field of study of the basic sciences of biology and chemistry, is now a science which has applied in applied fields such as medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, agriculture, food technology and even engineering.
Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds, which include not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements, including hydrogen (most compounds contain at least one carbon–hydrogen bond), nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. This branch of chemistry was originally limited to compounds produced by living organisms but has been broadened to include human-made substances such as plastics. The range of application of organic compounds is enormous and also includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food, explosives, paints, and cosmetics.
Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods used to separate, identify, and quantify matter. In practice, separation, identification or quantification may constitute the entire analysis or be combined with another method. Separation isolates analytes. Qualitative analysis identifies analytes, while quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration.
Physical Chemistry
Physical chemistry is the study of how matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level and how chemical reactions occur. Based on their analyses, physical chemists may develop new theories, such as how complex structures are formed. Physical chemists often work closely with materials scientists to research and develop potential uses for new materials.
