  • Crystal Engineering

    Crystal Engineering

    Crystal Engineering (CE) aims at understanding intermolecular interactions in the context of the crystal packing and utilize such understanding in the design and synthesis of new solid-state functional structures with desired physical and chemical properties.

  • Supramolecular Chemistry

    Supramolecular Chemistry

    Since its discovery, supramolecular chemistry has completely revolutionized the concept of synthesis, allowing for manipulation and production of nanostructured materials based on molecular components held together by noncovalent intermolecular forces.

  • Seeking PhD candidates for Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Industrial Doctorate (EID) programme

    Applications are welcome for an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) position associated with PhD-level research activities as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Industrial Doctorate (EID) programme related to the Consortium “REMEDI” (Trapping and Removal of X-ray Contrast Medium agents from water resource and stream Sediments New Concepts in Trapping, Recycling and Management). The latter leverages on a partnership between Politecnico di Milano (Italy), the University of Warwick (United Kingdom) and TAUW GMBH (Germany). The project will focus on the design and preparation of sorbent materials for the removal of iodinated contrast agents from water. We offer 1 full-time Marie Skłodowska-Curie scholarship, very competitive salary and relocation package, for a period of 36 months (40 hours per week), starting from November 2, 2021. Application deadline is May 20, 2021. For further info, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

  • Seeking post-doctoral candidates for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Individual Fellowships

    We are seeking highly motivated post-doctoral candidates to apply for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF) and work within the SupraBioNano Lab group at Politecnico di Milano (Italy).

    Our research interests are focused on self-assembly processes for the design of functional supramolecular materials, fluorine chemistry and crystal engineering. In particular, we are very much focused on the exploitation of non-covalent interactions in engineering perovskite solar cell materials. 

    Selected candidates will be invited to attend an in depth training course on the proposal writing through online webstreaming (28-29 June 2021), to have a virtual meeting with their supervisors and to make use of full support in the application writing process by POLIMI advisors.

    Candidate fellows and supervisors will be guided throughout the whole application process with deadline on 15 September 2021. Only those who get funding through the European Commission’s MSCA PF program will be admitted to Politecnico di Milano.

  • Endocrine disrupting pollutants properties affecting their bio-activity, remediation, and detection

    Valentina Dichiarante, Gabriella Cavallo and Pierangelo Metrangolo have recently published a review on "Endocrine disrupting pollutants properties affecting their bio-activity, remediation, and detection". The full paper can be found at the following link: Endocrine disrupting pollutants properties affecting their bio-activity, remediation, and detection.

     

    Abstract. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural or synthetic substances able to mimic, interfere with or block endogenous hormones, thus disrupting the normal function of the endocrine system. Most of them are largely applied in agriculture and industry. As a result, humans are chronically exposed to mixtures of EDCs. Their adverse effect on human health may appear long after exposure, making it difficult to assess their full impact. Thus, understanding the molecular basis of recognition of suspected EDCs by their biological targets, is fundamental to get insight into their mechanism of action. This review will focus on the role of intermolecular interactions, specifically halogen and chalcogen bonds, in EDC recognition processes, offering an overview of the latest advances in the study of disruption mechanisms.
