The aim of the Center is to overcome a critical capacity of the participating research groups and to share experience, equipment and the methodology between them. The Center will gain new general findings concerning a structure and reactivity of newly prepared complexes and will create a base of knowledge useful for following more detailed research in this area. The aim is also to integrate students to the research work
