Area of scientific activity
The background research work done in the PhD involved combined experimental-theoretical studies of the intermolecular association phenomena in simple and supramolecular systems, being included in the physical chemistry scientific area. Vibrational spectroscopy allows the detection of molecular association in condensed phase, while from the computational point-of-view, the quantum-chemical calculations (DFT and ab initio) provide information about the association mechanisms. Additionally, a new methodology PiMM- Pairs in Molecular Materials, which allows the complete assignment of the vibrational spectra and also the structural elucidation, was successfully developed. Apart from this, some computational studies of intermolecular interactions and spectroscopic properties involving cyclodextrins as second sphere ligands for organometallic complexes and also oxomolybdenum complexes as catalysts are research area of interest. At present, the research work is being developed in the group of Prof. Luis Carlos at the Physics Department of the University of Aveiro. It includes the development, characterization and computational and experimental modeling of new luminescent lanthanide materials and is being performed with the collaboration of some CICECO researchers. Ab initio calculations are being carried out to predict coordination geometries and also to interpret the vibrational spectra while IR, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies are used to fully characterize the lanthanide materials.
