Towards the rational design of new catalysts for organic transformations
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-02-28)
The main goal of this PhD thesis has been providing a computational support to the development of
new or better performing catalysts, leading to the synthesis of new materials.
In this context, it is worth remembering ...
Sustainable catalysis by polymer supported gold nanoparticles
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-03-16)
Gold Nanoparticles are nanomaterials whose properties are completely different from the ones of the bulk material. Nowadays many chemists have been using them as catalysts which work under mild conditions and respect the ...
New insights into peptoids' chemistry: synthesis, characterization and properties
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-05-11)
My PhD research activity aimed to enrich the realm of peptoids1 with novel compounds and new insights into their behavior and properties, investigating their potential applications.
A new class of cyclic “arylopeptoids” ...
Cavity Filling and Chirality Effects in Calixarene Threading
(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−) ...
Fluorescence-based sensors for the detection of biologically and environmentally relevant molecules
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-03-15)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been known for long time as a toxic molecule in biological systems. More recent studies have shown that mammals can produce H2S in a controlled fashion, suggesting that it’s important in maintaining ...
Polymorphism and co-crystalline phases of polymers
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-02-04)
Crystalline phases are extremely relevant for properties and applications of many polymeric
materials. In fact, their amount, structure and morphology constitute the main factors controlling
physical properties of fibers, ...
Total synthesis of terpenoidic unsatured dialdehydes and evaluation of their activity towards TRP receptors
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-02-02)
The aim of this PhD project has been to develop new synthetic strategies in
enantioselective preparation of natural products.
In particular my attention has been focused on preparation of some natural
metabolite, ...
Chiral organocatalysts mediated asymmetric oxyfunctionalization and tandem reaction
(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 ...
Development of iron-based catalysts for the coupling of carbon dioxide with epoxides
(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 ...
Sviluppo di nuovi sistemi catalitici dei metalli del gruppo 4 per la polimerizzazione di monomeri olefinici e polari
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-03-18)
In this PhD work, a series of eight new group 4 metal complexes 1−8 (1 = (t- BuOS)2TiCl2; 2 = (CumOS)2TiCl2; 3 = (t-BuOS)2Zr(CH2Ph)2; 4 = (CumOS)2Zr(CH2Ph)2); 5 = (t-BuOS)2Ti(OiPr)2; 6 = (t-BuOS)2Zr(OtBu)2; 7 = (t- ...
