Grafted squaramide monoamine nanoparticles as simple systems for sulfate recognition in pure water.
2012
New simple systems formed by a chain containing a squaramide function and a quaternised amine group attached to boehmite or silica-coated boehmite nanoparticles are able to discriminate anions in pure water.
One-pot preparation of surface modified boehmite nanoparticles with rare-earth cyclen complexes.
2007
We report on the one-pot synthetic procedure of cyclen derivatives bearing three acetate groups attached on boehmite nanoparticles, the complexing capabilities of these inorganic–organic hybrid materials with rare earth cations, and the behaviour as contrast agents or fluorescence probes.

A new chromo-fluorogenic probe based on BODIPY for NO2 detection in air
2014
[EN] A novel colorimetric probe for the selective and sensitive detection of NO2 in solution and in air based on a BODIPY core containing an oxime group has been prepared.
First bodipy–DOTA derivatives as probes for bimodal imaging
2010
The synthesis and the photophysical studies of the first bodipy-DOTA and its In(III), Ga(III) and Cu(II) complexes are reported. The introduction of an isothiocyanate handle generates a new bimodal imaging agent capable of both optical and nuclear imaging.
Chromo-fluorogenic BODIPY-complexes for selective detection of V-type nerve agent surrogates
2014
Two new Eu3+ and Au3+ BODIPY-complexes capable of chromofluorogenically detecting micromolar concentrations of V-type nerve agent surrogates by a simple displacement assay are described
A Simple Apparatus for the Determination of the Optical Constants and the Thickness of Absorbing Thin Films
2001
We report on a simple and inexpensive apparatus useful for measuring the optical constants n, k and the thickness of weakly absorbing thin films. The measurement is based on an accurate determination of the reflectance and transmittance of a specimen illuminated by a laser beam. The laser beam is incident on a transparent substrate coated with the film to be evaluated, with an angle of incidence equal to the Brewster angle for the substrate, and its polarization can be switched between the p and s states. If the thickness is known to be within a presumptive range, measurements of the p and s reflectance and transmittance allow a calculation of the optical constants n, k and the thickness of…
Modulating the reaction pathway of phenyl diazonium ions using host–guest complexation with cucurbit[7]uril
2022
Aryl diazonium ions are known to be an important intermediate in the divergent synthesis of azo compounds and substituted aromatics. The presence of more than one electrophilic center in a diazonium ion could lead to undesirable side reactions during a synthesis. Herein, we report that the electrophilic α-carbon on a phenyl diazonium [PhN2]+ ion can be selectively deactivated upon host–guest complexation with cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) in aqueous media, achieving a ∼60-fold increase in the half-life of [PhN2]+. Notably, however, the electrophilic nitrogen of the encapsulated diazonium ion remains active towards diazo coupling with strong nucleophiles, allowing the formation of azo compounds usin…
Halloysite nanotubes loaded with peppermint essential oil as filler for functional biopolymer film
2016
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show how a functional bionanocomposite film with both antioxidant and antimicrobial activities was successfully prepared by the filling of a pectin matrix with modified Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) containing the essential peppermint oil (PO). Firstly, HNT surfaces were functionalized with cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) molecules with the aim to enhance the affinity of the nanofiller towards PO, which was estimated by means of HPLC experiments. The HNT/CB[6] hybrid was characterized by several methods (thermogravimetry, FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy) highlighting the influence of the supramolecular interactions on the composition, therma…
Increasing the nuclearity and spin ground state in a new family of ferromagnetically-coupled {Ni10} disk-like complexes bearing exclusively end-on br…
2018
The synthesis of a new family of ferromagnetically-coupled {Ni10} clusters counterbalanced by various [Ln(NO3)5]2− ions is herein described. The resulting compounds are organic chelate-free and the metal ions are exclusively bridged by end-on azido ligands to stabilize a beautiful disk-like topology reminiscent of the structure of the brucite mineral.
Photoluminescence quantum yield exceeding 80% in low dimensional perovskite thin-films via passivation control
2017
Quasi-2D perovskites with the BA : MA molar ratio equal to 3 : 3 show a remarkable PLQY exceeding 80%, thanks to the use of an electron donor as the passivating agent. These films have been applied in LEDs that exhibit high brightness exceeding 1000 cd m−2 and current efficiencies >3 cd A−1.
