The group of reactivity of solids was created in 1998 as a result of the reorganization of the Laboratory of Solid State Chemistry (headed by Academician Vladimir V. Boldyrev). From 1998 to 2013 the Group was headed by Academician Vladimir V. Boldyrev, since 2013 to 2017 - Doctor of Chemical Sciences Elena V. Boldyreva. Since 2017 the Group is headed by Ph.D. Alexander A. Matvienko. The staff of the Group includes 18 employees, including 1 academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2 doctors and 12 candidates of sciences.

Major Directions of Research Activities
  • Study of principles of mechanochemical synthesis and mechanochemical transformations of organic and coordination compounds, as well as supramolecular systems and natural biopolymers.
  • Study of compressibility, compression anisotropy, structural and chemical transformations caused by increasing hydrostatic pressure; the role of kinetic and thermodynamic factors in the transformations
  • Study of polymorphic transitions and compression anisotropy at cryogenic temperatures; correlation of the behavior of crystalline and non-crystalline samples under cryogenic conditions with their structure and properties.
  • Study of the influence of mechanical stresses generated by a solid-phase chemical reaction on the kinetics of the reaction and the morphology of a solid product.
  • Study of photo- and thermomechanical effects in crystals; study of photosensitive materials and the features of photo- and thermoinduced chemical processes in the solid phase, including the variation of external conditions.
  • Development of methods for obtaining new polymorphic modifications, salts, solvates and crystalline supramolecular complexes of organic and coordination compounds, including those for use in pharmacy as materials.
  • Study of regularities of obtaining of organic compounds in the amorphous and mesomorphic state.
  • Development of methods for obtaining new dosage forms based on solid substances. In particular, the development of methods for the preparation of dispersed powders for intranasal delivery, as well as methods for solubilization of poorly soluble substances.
  • Development of methods for obtaining and investigating by diffraction methods commensurate and disproportionately modulated phases of organic and coordination compounds.
  • Photocrystallography, including under high pressure conditions.
  • Studies of substances and materials of various types using single crystal and powder diffraction methods, including using synchrotron radiation, in extreme in situ conditions, as well as materials and devices in operando.
  • Investigation of the nucleation and growth of molecular crystals. Optimization of methods of crystallization of required polymorphous modifications, molecular salts and co-crystals.
  • Application of computational methods for studying the physicochemical properties of crystals and individual molecules of organic substances. Calculation of possible polymorphous modifications and crystal structures in the crystals of small organic molecules.
  • Study of the causes and mechanisms of phase transitions in crystals by quantum chemical methods.
  • Study of the mechanical denaturation of amylase and cellulase enzyme complexes in mechano-enzymatic processes.
