metal complexes in solution
Our expertise is in the field of the study of solution chemistry of coordination compounds, in particular those of transition metal ions. We study complexes of interest in biological chemistry, supramolecular and medicinal chemistry.
Our competences span into different areas such as acid-base properties of ligands and organic molecules, complex formation constants, metal-ligand and substrate-receptor binding affinities, oligomerization and self-assembly processes.
We also have expertise in the synthesis, isolation and characterization of metal complexes. Through our in-home collaboration we can assist the study of metal complexes from the design to the structural characterization in the solid state, to the study of their stability in solution.

PArma and its universityThe University of Parma is one of the oldest universities in the world. The earliest educational institution was founded in AD 962 by imperial decree of Otto I as school for notaries. The faculties of law and medicine were added in the 13th century. The University today is organised in nine departments. As of 2019 the University of Parma has about 30,000 students and its educational activities span from humanities to natural sciences, to engineering and to architecture.
Parma is a city in the northern Italian region of Emilia Romagna, famous for its architecture, music, and art. Musician Guiseppe Verdi, orchestra director Arturo Toscanini and Oscar-winner film director Bernardo Bertolucci were born in Parma. Parma is the capital city of the "Food Valley", famous for the production of ham (prosciutto di Parma) and cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano), and Unesco Creative City for Gastronomy. Parma was already a built-up area in the Bronze Age. As a city it was built up by Etruscans and then re-established during the Roman domination in the area. Today Parma is a very dynamic city, where a strong economy based on modern industries mixes up with the traditional lifestyle of a middle-size city of norther Italy and the artistic history of the town. |
About prof. tegoniMatteo Tegoni graduated at the University of Parma where he also earned the Ph.D. in 2002.
He is currently Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry. He participated to several research projects in the field of bioinorganic and supramolecular chemistry. His research interests are in the field of study of metal complexes in solution, of the chemistry of metallacrwons, and of the interaction of metal ions with proteins and peptides. |
COST ACTION CA18202
Network for Equilibria and Chemical Thermodynamics Advanced Research
- NECTAR -
October 2, 2019 - october 1, 2023
The thermodynamic study of chemical equilibria represents the core of many important branches of chemistry, from coordination and supramolecular chemistry, to chemical speciation, to molecular modelling and drug design. The importance of chemical equilibria, and chemical thermodynamics in general, results from the simple assertion that many properties of elements and compounds depend mainly on their interactions in a given system: the biological activity of an element or molecule, or their environmental impact can be explained by a detailed study of these interactions, whose nature and strength can be evaluated by chemical equilibrium and other thermodynamic studies.
NECTAR combines the expertise of the large community of specialists working in the field of thermodynamic studies of chemical equilibria. The scopes of this Action are to create a network based on the stimulating collaboration between them, to promote knowledge exchange, and to achieve high technological progress. All this will be accomplished through a fruitful collaboration between young researchers and experienced scientists, taking into consideration gender balance and maximal geographical distribution. Innovative and integrated theoretical and experimental approaches will be established and optimized. Overall, the outstanding quality of obtained results will serve as benchmark for next decades, allowing their application in the above-mentioned fields and substantially impacting on life quality of next generations.
