About

The applied organometallics group of the University of Padua is a young and dynamic group that enthusiastically carries out cutting-edge research on various fronts of transition metal chemistry. In particular, it ranges from catalysis to bioinorganic chemistry to optoelectronics.

News

What a nice week!

Three new papers of our group are online!

They are about organopalladium anticancer agents with a detailed biological/computational analysis on novel Pd-aryl complexes (read here), the synthesis, anticancer and catalytic activity of di-gold(I)-thiolato and -alkynyl complexes bearing di-NHC ligands (read here) and a DFT analysis concerning the reaction between biologically-active Pd complexes and chalcogenolates (read here).

Here you can find all of them and other papers about this topic!

New unsaturated 104-electron Pd(0) cluster.

Read the last paper about the synthesis and characterization of a new nanocluster with a cubic Pd8 core stabilized by µ4-capping phosphinidene ligands.

Open positions

Postdoc position

A postdoc position on the “Synthesis and characterization of (electro)chemiluminescent dyes” to carry out research activity related to the project “BioPoweredCL” “Bright and biologically powered chemiluminescent labels for cell and tissue imaging” has been opened. Please check the department website https://www.chimica.unipd.it/dipartimento/amministrazione-trasparente/bandi-di-concorso/bandi-didattica-ricerca-e-altre-tipolog-2 and https://protocollo.unipd.it/albo/viewer for details. If interested contact prof. Alessandro Aliprandi (alessandro.aliprandi@unipd.it) and send a CV. Stay tuned!
