Ricevimento per il corso di CHIMICA INORGANICA SUPERIORE (previa richiesta via email):
Giovedì, ore 14:30-16:30 (salvo impegni istituzionali)
Supramolecular Liquid Crystals
I have always been interested in the design and synthesis of supramolecular structures showing liquid crystalline properties and driven by specific non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, metal coordination or halogen bonding.
Photoresponsive Materials
Azobenzene-based supramolecular materials capable of giving highly efficient photoalignment and surface-relief-grating formation are one of my field of research.
Crystal Engineering
One of my main and principal topic of research has been the design of organic/metallorganic solids with desired shape and function, with a particular focus on fluorinated solids.
Studies of non-covalent Interactions and Aspects of Bonding in Metallorganic Complexes
Recent reseach focus on the theory and quantification of non-covalent interactions in the solid state and in aspects of bonding in ligand-actinide complexes.
