The Scientific and Technological Center of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia (RA NAS S.T.C.O.P.C.) was established according to Decision 1530-N of the Government of the Republic of Armenia on October 12, 2006. It includes the following research institutions:
A. Mnjoyan Institute of Fine Organic Chemistry (founded in 1955)
Institute of Organic Chemistry (founded in 1957)
Center for the Study of Molecular Structure (founded in 1994)

Currently, the Center employs 254 people, including 181 researchers, 2 corresponding members of the NAS RA, 15 doctors of sciences, and 69 candidates of sciences.

Over the past ten years (2015-2024), the Center’s employees have published approximately 1,300 scientific articles and theses from national and international scientific conferences, and 15 RA and international patents have been obtained. During the same period, 6 doctoral and 25 candidate theses were defended.

The Center has published:
Volumes II (2015), III (2017), and IV (2023) of the collection of scientific papers “Some Achievements in Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry.”
Volumes 18 (2016), 19 (2020), and 20 (2024) of the collection “Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds.”

In collaboration with the Armenian Chemical Society, NAS RA, YSU and other
organizations the Center organized several international scientific conferences,
including:
“Current problems of fundamental and applied chemistry” (2017),
“Challenges of the 21st century” (2019),
“Chemistry in Armenia” (2022),
“New Emerging Trends in Chemistry” (2023).

The Center has a Specialized Council on Chemistry 010 HESC RA, which awards
academic degrees of Doctor and Candidate of Chemical Sciences in the specialties
B.00.03–“Organic Chemistry”, B.00.10–“Bioorganic Chemistry” and
B.00.06–“Supramolecular Chemistry”.
