Research Area

The main research topics are:

- Synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes (Pt (II), Pd (II), Cu(II) and Au (I)) for applications in catalysis, supramolecular chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry.

- Synthesis, coordination and reactivity of functionalized isocyanide and nitrile ligands.

- Synthesis and coordination of phosphine ligands, also water-soluble.

- Synthesis and functionalization of transition metal and metal oxides nanoparticles for applications in hyperthermia, drug delivery, and photocatalysis.

Thesis proposals

The proposed theses can involve students of the first-cycle (bachelor) degree courses in Chemical and Materials Engineering, Environmental and Land Planning Engineering, Chemistry*, Industrial Chemistry*, and Materials Science*, and students of second-cycle (master) degree courses in Chemical and Industrial Processes Engineering, Materials Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Chemistry*, Industrial Chemistry* and Materials Science* and single-cycle degree courses in Pharmacy* and Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies*. They cover the following topics:

- Synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes with isocyanide, carbene and phosphine ligands for applications in catalysis (e.g. in organic oxidation reactions)

- Synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes with nitrile, isocyanide and amine ligands for bioinorganic applications (e.g. development of anticancer compounds)

- Synthesis and characterization of transition metal or magnetic oxides nanoparticles for biological applications (e.g. in magnetic hyperthermia) or removal of pollutants from water (e.g. by adsorption or photocatalysis)

*Students of these degree programs will develop a thesis in collaboration with a thesis supervisor from their respective departments.
