Biography
Ilaria Fratoddi is a researcher since 2005 at the Chemistry Department of the Sapienza University of Rome. She received her phD in Chemical Sciences on 2000 working on organometallic polymers and complexes. Her research interests has recently focused on the synthesis and characterization of noble metal nanoparticles, functionalized with organic, organometallic or polymeric thiols. The research also focused on the synthesis and characterization of Pt (II) and Pd (II) organometallic complexes and nanostructured polymeric systems with tunable electronic conjugation, whether or not containing transition metals, such as polyynes, polyenes and multiporphyrinic systems. Extensive studies have been carried out in view of applications as sensors, in optics and photonics and in biotechnology for the interaction of nanostructured materials with enzymes, antibodies and drugs.
