Cavity Filling and Chirality Effects in Calixarene Threading
Concilio, Gerardo (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-03-16)In 2010, the Prof. Neri’s group showed that the calix[6]arene hosts were able to recognize dialkylammonium axles when they were coupled with the weakly coordinating Tetrakis[3,5 bis(triFluoromethyl)Phenyl]Borate (TFPB−) ... -
Charge transfer in organic materials with potential applications in electronics
Landi, Alessandro (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2019-02-05)Search for low cost electronic materials has led towards the synthesis and the employment of organic semiconductors (OSCs), a class of materials that combine the electronic advantages of semiconducting materials with the ... -
Chiral organocatalysts mediated asymmetric oxyfunctionalization and tandem reaction
Meninno, Sara (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2015-03-13)Asymmetric organocatalysis is a new rapidly growing field whose huge potential is becoming more and more evident.This PhD project has been conceived and developed in the context of non-covalent organocatalysis. The aim ... -
CO2 fixation in cyclic carbonates and polycarbonates by salen-like based metal complexes
Cozzolino, Mariachiara (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2019-02-06)At the current rate of consumption of petroleum resources, they are predicted to be exhausted within the next century. For this reason, the development of new chemical processes using biorenewable resources is attracting ... -
Congegni Supramolecolari basati sul Threading di Calixareni
Talotta, Carmen (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2013-02-01)Recently, Neri et al have introduced an efficient method to obtain endo-cavity complexation and through-the-annulus threading of large calixarenes exploiting the inducing effect of a weakly coordinating anion, tetrakis ... -
Design e sintesi di analoghi delle azumammidi, potenti inibitori degli enzimi HDACs
Cafaro, Emiddio (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-03-07)Le azumammidi sono cinque ciclopeptidi di origine marina, isolate nel 2003 da Fusetani et al dalla spugna Mycale izuensis e brevettate dalla Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical. L'interesse destato da questi metaboliti secondari ... -
Development of dosimeters with selective materials to high frequency radiation
Funaro, Maria (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2013-01-23)The clinical use of ionizing radiation to obtain a necrosing or cytotoxic radiobiological effect on tumoral lesions requires wide and complex physical and dosimetrical procedures. In particular, it is necessary to calculate ... -
Development of iron-based catalysts for the coupling of carbon dioxide with epoxides
Della Monica, Francesco (Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-03-07)Beside the environmental and energetic issues, carbon dioxide can be considered as a resource. Many chemical transformations based on CO2 as C-1 building block have been developed. The coupling reaction of epoxides with ... -
