The research project team was very successful within the frame of the aims of the group, although there are considerable difficulties while forecasting the scientific result when dealing with the fundamental research. Several new -previously unknown- coordination, bioinorganic and organometallic compounds were synthetised and characterized by the physico-chemical methods. The attempts towards the tests of the biological activities were made (for example: antibacterial, insuline tests of vanadium compounds). However, the members of the team provided the regular structural service to the other research project team not only in Slovenia but also abroad. One part of the research team was involved in the research in the field of material science. They specialised in the preparation of the nano materials hoping that the acquired knowledge will help us to find the extraordinary reaction systems and to produce the material with the special planned properties in the process called "product engineering". The majority of the results of the research was published in the international journals. We can point the publications with a series of foreign coauthors published in: J. Am. Chem. Soc. (IF is 6.201), J. Biol.Chem. (IF is 6.696), New.J.Chem., J.Org.Chem., Helv. Chim. Acta, Org Lett., J. Chem.Soc.Dalton, Tetrahedron Lett., Organometallics in drugih. There is an integral survey of the results presented by I. Turel in Coord. Chem. Rev. (IF is 5.853). I.Leban was invited as one of the 125 selected world crystallographers to present his view on the development of crystallography on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the journal Zeitschrift fuer Kristallographie. In 2002 N. Lah collaborated at the experiment GCF- Granada Crystallization Facility - crystallization of proteins under microgravity conditions. This was a project within ESA (European Space Agency), named ODISSEA Mission (Belgium Taxi Flight) on the capsule Progress M1-9 with the rocket Soyuz from Bajkonur in Kazahstan on 25 September 2002. At the end the great achievement was the purchase of the modern research equipment which will enable the up-to-date research also in the future. The X-ray diffractometer with the CCD detector for small-structure monocrystals was installed at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana in June 2001. The purchase value was SIT 57.865.675.- (USD 243.748.-). The partial financing was done by the Ministry of Science in the grant packet X-256 with the sum of SIT 21.451.209.- (USD 90.358.-) - this means only 37 %. The rest was contributed from National Chemistry Institute SIT 4.000.000.-(USD 16.849.-), however the rest in the amount of 56 % of the whole value was contributed from the research group itself, namely (USD 136.539.-). In the similar way the dry-box of the value SIT 5.512.000.- (EUR 23.965.-) was bought.
