Current Research Topics:


Dye-Doped Crystals:

A study on hourglass crystals to determine the distribution of the guest in the different sites offered by the host. These compounds are interesting for nonlinear optical applications.
(M. Bellinazzi, A. Barbon,
M. Brustolon)



Fullerene-C60 derivatives:

A study on the monoanions in solution and of the triplet states in glassy and oriented matrix to characterize the dynamic and the electronic properties of the fullerene. This study also explores the role of the nature and position of substituents. Such an high-symmetry molecule has a great potential in material science and supramolecular chemistry.
(A. Zoleo, A.L. Maniero, M. Bellinazzi, M. Bortolus, M. Brustolon)



Metallo-proteins:

A study on Mn(II)-ATPase to determine the geometry of the active site and the role of the metal in the catalytic process. Other complexes with Copper and other paramagnetic transition metals will be studied in the future. All metallo-proteins are extremely interesting due to their key role in many biological processes.
(A.L. Maniero, A. Zoleo, L. Pinato)



Nano-Structured Matrixes:

A study on the dynamics and magnetic properties of chromophores (i.e. thiophenes) or free radicals (i.e. nitroxides) included into a nanostructured matrix.  The study of the nanoscale ordering induced on the molecules is fundamental for the development of nanotechnology.
