Research
Main fields: |
The main work has been developing along four principal lines: 1) Organic materials characterized by peculiar electric and optoelectronic properties (Materials and devices), 2) Homogeneous stereoselective catalysis, 3) C3 symmetric tris-arylphosphanes in which chirality results from residual stereoisomerism, 4) Chiral ionic liquids. |
Current interests: |
Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) |
