Congratulations to our PhD student Lorenzo Bonaldi for his scientific publication entitled “Multivariate approach for the optimization of sucrose ethanolysis: Paving the way to the exploitation of sucrose-rich by-products”. In this work, the optimisation of ethyl levulinate (EL) synthesis from sucrose via direct alcoholysis was investigated as a valorisation strategy.
Congratulations to our PhD student Marco Bazi for the recent scientific publication entitled "Rare-Earth Salicylate Phenanthroline Complexes Cause Cell Death in Human Tumor Cells". Rare-Earth mononuclear complexes can express a relevant antiproliferative effect against human ovarian carcinoma cell lines. Rare-Earth N,N-dibutylcarbamate [RE(O2CNBu2)3] was reacted with salicylaldehyde as protic reactant and phenanthroline as neutral ancillary ligand.
Congratulations to our PhD student Lorenzo Bonaldi for his scientific publication entitled “Synthesis of ethyl levulinate from bread waste and its application as a versatile bio-additive for spark ignition internal combustion engines”.
Congratulations to our PhD candidate Andrea Volpe for his work entitled “Influence of cations size and charge on Zn electrodeposition from deep eutectic solvents” published on the international journal Electrochimica Acta. Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are liquid mixtures exhibiting tunable physicochemical properties as a function of the nature and ratio of their components.
Congratulations to our PhD student Piermarco Saraceno for his publication titled “Quantum Dynamics Simulations Reveal Ultrafast and Coherent Charge Transfer in the Lhca4 Antenna of Photosystem I” in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
Congratulations to our PhD candidate Mariano De Cristofaro for his talk at the international Joint IUPAC–DSM Workshop on LC-MS Method Validation and Performance, an event promoted by IUPAC, the global authority in analytical method validation, and supported by Accredia, the Italian national accreditation body.
