Katarina Lisac

Dr. Katarina Lisac is a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Physical Chemistry at the Ruđer Bošković Institute, specializing in crystal engineering and halogen-bonded materials. Her research focuses on mechanochemical synthesis, metal-organic hybrids, and supramolecular chemistry.

• Specializes in halogen-bonded cocrystals and metal-organic frameworks
• Active in mechanochemical synthesis and structural analysis
• Investigates stoichiometric diversity and stability of molecular crystals

Katarina's work explores synergies between halogen and hydrogen bonding in crystal design, advancing sustainable chemistry through solvent-free synthesis. Recent studies highlight applications of phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony acceptors in cocrystal formation.

Her research at the Laboratory for Applied and Sustainable Chemistry emphasizes innovative strategies for creating functional materials with tailored properties.
