Exploring Nordic microalgae as a potential novel source of antioxidant and bioactive compounds
(Elsevier, 2023)Nordic microalgae are a group of photosynthetic organisms acclimated to growth at low temperature and in varying light conditions; the subarctic climate offers bright days with moderate temperatures during summer and cold ... -
Hollow-Fiber Liquid-Phase Micro-Extraction Method for the Simultaneous Derivatization, Extraction, and Pre-concentration of Organotin Compounds from Packed Fruit Juices
(Springer, 2022)Organotin compounds are widely employed as pesticides and fungicides in agriculture and as stabilizers for the industrial manufacture of polyvinyl chloride and other polymers. Accordingly, these endocrine disruptors can ... -

Mice brain metabolomics after the exposure to a “chemical cocktail” and selenium supplementation through the gut-brain axis
(Elsevier, 2022-09-15)Several environmental pollutants have been shown to damage brain and affect gut microbiota. Limited evidence is available about the impact of “chemical cocktails” (CC) of xenobiotics on brain metabolome and their possible ... -
(NHC)M Cores as Catalysts for the Olefin Aziridination Reaction (M= Cu, Ag, Au): Evidencing a Concerted Mechanism for the Nitrene Transfer Process
(American Chemical Society, 2022-11-28)Complexes [(NHC)MCl] (M = coinage metal) have been evaluated as catalyst for the olefin aziridination reaction using PhI=NTs as nitrene source, with moderate to high activity being found depending of the metal and the ... -
Micellar Catalysis as a Tool for C-H Bond Functionalization To-ward C-C Bond Formation
(American Chemical Society, 2022-11-28)Micelles generated upon dissolving surfactants in water can be employed as nano-vessels for catalytic transformations, in the so-called micellar catalysis methodology. This review is focused onto the use of micellar ... -
Gold nanoparticle-catalysed functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds by carbene transfer reactions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-02-23)Gold nanoparticles stabilized by NHC ligands and supported onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) catalyse the functionalization of cyclohexane and benzene C-H bonds upon insertion of carbene CHCO2Et (from N2=CHCO2Et) groups. ... -
Direct Benzene Hydroxylation with Dioxygen Induced by Copper Complexes: Uncovering the Active Species by DFT Calculations
(America Chemical Society, 2022-07-14)The direct oxidation of benzene into phenol using molecular oxygen at very mild temperatures can be promoted in the presence of the copper complex TpBr3Cu(NCMe) in the homogeneous phase in the presence of ascorbic acid as ... -
