The research activity
is devoted to the combined use of kinetic and thermodynamic
approaches to get information on complex systems.
For these studies spectrophotometric, spectrofluorometric and fast
kinetics or chemical relaxation techniques (Stopped-flow, T-jump)
are used, eventually together with electrophoresis and viscometry.
In particular, the scientific activity finds expression mainly in
the following fields:
1) kinetics and thermodynamics of formation of metal complexes (principally
of biological and biomedical interest) in solution;
2) kinetics and thermodynamics of small molecules interaction with
polynucleotides (natural and synthetic DNAs and RNAs);
3) kinetics and thermodynamics of metal extraction from liquid
wastes by means of micelle-ligand systems. |
