Heterogeneous organocatalysts for the fabrication of organocatalytic packed-bed microreactors and the execution of stereoselective continuous-flow processes

 

Short description of the research team

Thematic fields of interest/research areas: Heterogeneous organocatalysts for the fabrication of organocatalytic packed-bed microreactors and the execution of stereoselective continuous-flow processes

Manager/head of the team: Dr. ALESSANDRO MASSI

Team members: Prof. Olga Bortolini; Prof. Omar Pandoli

 

Research infrastructures:
The scientific instrumentation available at the University of Ferrara includes all that is needed for the successful realization of the goals of the project, namely the synthesis of heterogeneous organocatalysts and the fabrication of the relevant packed-bed microreactors. In particular, the facilities at the Chemistry Department include HPLC (analytical and micro scale); HPLC-MS (ESI, linear ion-trap); two NMR spectrometers (300 and 400 Mhz); Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM); Field Emission Microscopy (FEM); Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM); Sedimentation-FFF machine; combustion analyzer (for elemental analysis).

 

Prerequisites of the trainee researcher:
Level of education: "Marie Curie Individual Fellowship” Action requirements
