Laboratory of Functional Dyes Synthesis

Faculty of Chemistry and Biology / Environmental Sciences

3 (1)

DESCRIPTION

The research of our group covers the fields of Organic Chemistry and Physical Organic Chemistry. Our team employes a synthesis methodology for the development of dyes able to detect changes in the microenvironment of homogeneous and microstructured media. The objective of the laboratory is to establish a structure-behavior relationship for the solvatochromism phenomenon in absorption and emission, that allows for an accurate design of the spectral properties of new chemical sensors.

RESEARCH LINE

Synthesis and photophysical studies of organic and metal-organic dyes
