Research Interest

Our research activity is directed towards both catalysis and low-valent metals for molecular activation. In catalysis our interest started with a study in vanadium chemistry by using a ligand system which has received substantial attention in the literature for its role in sustaining exceptional catalytic activity with late metals. Besides finding another potent catalyst, our paper in vanadium chemistry was the first insight into the direct involvement of the ligand system in the organometallic chemistry of the metal center (J. Am. Chem. Soc.  1999, 121, 9318).  In an attempt to generalize these unique findings we have also tested middle metals and found what seemingly is an endless variety of transformations (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002,124,12268). Last but not least we also find that the ability of this ligand to work as electron storage allows a curious ambiguity in the metal oxidation state, which positively affects both catalytic performances and molecular activation (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 13019). It is just in the last few months that we have made what we are convinced to be a major breakthrough. By designing a new type of hemilabile catalytic system, we are in the fortunate position of being able of preparing families of single component catalysts of extremely high polymerization activity (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2007, 46, 6119). Still focusing on processes forming C-C bond from ethylene, we have started a project aimed at understanding the selective oligomerization. In search for working hypothesis, our research has initially focused on studying established catalytic systems and has yielded important insights into the factors promoting activity and selectivity (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 9238, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.  2006, 45, 7050, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 2008in press).
            In a separate line of research we pursue our interest for understanding activation of dinitrogen. Our recent work in f-block elements chemistry has provided evidences for the cooperative interaction of one-electron reductants on the same dinitrogen substrate, a feature somehow related to the behavior of the Fe cofactor of nitrogenase. Instead, by using a multi-electron reductant such a uranium and transient low-valent thorium synthons we have obtained the sole existing examples of dinitrogen cleavage and partial hydrogenation promoted by a f-block element (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.  2002, 41, 3433, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 2003,42, 4958, cited by C&En, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl  2003, 42, 814. Cited by C&En).

            Very recently we have turned our attention to CO2 activation an water splitting (see list of most recent publication below). To this end, we have discovered unprecedented bonding mode of CO2 to a metal center (Angewandte Chemie Int Ed Engl. VIP accepted) and linked such a coordination to the enhancement of radical behavior of CO2 (Chem. Eur.J. 2017, 23,17269–17278.), extracting H atom from the solvent in an overall facile reduction process (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 10928). We also have designed a new system where shuttle chemistry is used to perform a two stage water splitting (Dalton 2017,46, 49).
