Fields of interest
Long standing interest on all aspects of phosphorus chemistry: low coordinated
species, heterocycles, macrocycles, cryptands, spherands, chiral ligands for
catalysis, polymers, interactions between transition metals and various unsaturated
phosphorus derivatives.
Two main topics are developed at the present time
The first one concerns the characterization and studies of the physical and
chemical properties of phosphorus containing dendrimers and related
hyperbranched polymers with emphasize on applications from biology to material
science.
Emphasize is also laid on the studies of interactions between main group elements
and group 4 elements (titanium, zirconium) with applications in organic and
organometallic chemistry and recently in enantioselective catalysis.
