IKU-SPECTRA

IKU-SPECTRA: Molecular Sciences and Spectroscopy Applied Research Center is established within Istanbul Kültür University to conduct advanced research and promote scientific excellence in the fields of molecular sciences.
Our research focuses on critical scientific areas, including environmental, atmospheric and space chemistries, as well as materials sciences with pharmaceutically relevant materials at the core of our investigations. By employing advanced molecular spectroscopy techniques, we explore the structure and reactivity of atmospheric molecules and investigate the polymorphism exhibited by molecular crystals, a crucial concern for the pharmaceutical industry. 
We are also proud to host Türkiye’s first matrix isolation spectroscopy facility, along with modern Raman imaging and X-Ray diffraction laboratories.
