My PhD project deals with the synthesis and characterization of chiral pinene-pyridine derivatives and their applications in the coordination chemistry of d and f metals, as well as sensing. My internship in the group of Prof. De Cola is focused on the synthesis and photophysics of novel Zn(II) emitters.
