Master Thesis

Current topics can focus on tailor-made multi-components from coordination compounds to organometallic complexes for generating various nanoporous structures and coordination polymers (such as MOFs, COFs, PMOs, etc.) to metal complexes supported  onto nanoporous silica-based materials (SOMC@PMSs). These new nanostructured hybrid materials are analyzed and examined with a variety of experimental methods, including NMR, IR-FT, structural X-ray analysis, SEM, TEM, termogravimetri and gas adsorption, and in some cases are also performed computational chemical studies (along with the research group in nanomodeling and theoretical chemistry).
We are primarily interested in the nanostructured hybrid materials with potential applications as catalysts for the refining of oil and natural gas, the use of CO₂ as building block, in gas separation (including the capture of CO₂) and storage of CO₂, and as gas sensors.
