In this PhD thesis work, Ruthenium catalysts were covalently and non-covalently linked to carbon-based nanomaterials, in order to give self-repairing ability to the aeronautical materials. These supported catalysts have ...

The aim of PhD project is the synthesis of new metal catalysts active in the polymerization of polar monomer and α-olefins. In the last decade, transition metal complexes bearing tetradentate bis(phenolato) ligands are ...

Olefin metathesis is one of the most important chemical transformations for the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds. The possibility to build up highly funtionalised alkenes starting from simple olefins makes this ...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are evolutionarily conserved components of the innate immune system. They have a broad spectrum of action against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Therefore, AMP are studied as probable substitutes ...

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 ...
