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

New Autumn Contributions

New contributions of our group were published dealing with coumarin synthesis, firstly with gold(III) catalysis in ionic liquids (here) and then with an improved gold(I) catalytic system via intramolecular cyclization (here).

Also a chapter about the homogeneous methanol carbonylation was avaible online here.

New papers about TADF emitters!

Here you can find a nice work dealing with the effect of imidazole p-extension on the ECL performance of TADF emitters. It is the second step of a research that began with the publication of imidazole-based TADF which can be found in this section of the site.

The second one is focused on the tune of the electrochemiluminescence of TADF luminophores manipulating efficiency and unveiling water-soluble emitters. Read it!

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!
