Research interests
Past:
- design, synthesis and characterization of systems able to work as fluorescent sensors for analytes of biological interest;
- kinetic characterization of demetallation or translocation processes involving polyamminic complexes of transition metal ions;
- design, synthesis and characterization of systems able to perform controlled translocation of transition metal cations inside poli-aza ligands;
Recent:
- design, synthesis and characterization of devices containing transition metal ions able to perform supramolecular functions.
- functionalization of surfaces with noble metal (Au, Ag) and semiconductors (CuS) nano-objects, and/or transition metal complexes with microbicidal action, in order to build antibacterial materials
- synthesis of noble metal (Ag, Au) nano-objects, their surface functionalization for sensing and theranostic applications, study of their SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) activity.
- green synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles exploiting agricultural waste materials
