Organic self-assembly and photocatalysis

Synthesis • Self-assembly • Nanomaterials • Catalysis

Welcome to our research lab, based at the University of Padova in the Department of Chemical Sciences. We are a young and dynamic team working in organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry and photocatalysis. 

Our main research interests are the design, synthesis, self-assembly, and applications of π-conjugated molecular architectures for solar energy conversion and development of novel photochemical reactions. 

For an idea of the work we do, please have a look at our research and publications pages. 

If you would like to come and work with us, have a read of our vacancies page.

2024/11/04 Not one, but two new group members are joining us today − welcome Marianna Barbieri and Matilde Doardo. Best of luck with the PhD studies, you got this!

2024/10/24 And now the Advanced Materials article is available online as early view and open access!

2024/10/14 Our paper was just accepted for publication in Advanced Materials! Cannot wait for the article to be online?! You absolutely must know about how we developed a homogeneous reaction and integrated it in a porous scaffold?! Then check out the pre-print here. Thanks to the Arcudi group for all the help!

2024/10/04 Our bachelor student in Industrial Chemistry, dott.ssa Aurora Beltrame, just defended her thesis with flying colors and is ready to graduate! Best of luck with your master's degree in Chemistry!

2024/10/03 New paper is out in Advanced Sustainable Systems! A thorough photocatalytic study combining different techniques?!  Have a look at the open access article here. Great collaboration with the Sartorel group! 

2024/09/30 We have a new group member: Emelie Huhn is visiting us from Giessen and will put her synthetic skills into making some compounds!

2024/09/28 Part of the group was out this Saturday at Science4All, the science festival organized by our university! Did you know that gin tonic is fluorescent?!

2024/09/23 Our master's student, dott.ssa Marianna Barbieri, did a fantastic job defending her thesis work. She will graduate in a couple of days, but we are lucky to have her back in a month to start her PhD studies!
