Giuseppe Resnati (born 26 August 1955) is an Italian chemist with interests in fluorine chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. He had a particular focus on self-assembly processes driven by halogen bonds.[2]
Education and professional positions
Resnati was born in Monza, Italy. He obtained his PhD in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan in 1988 with Prof. Carlo Scolastico and a thesis on asymmetric synthesis via chiral sulfoxides. After a period of activity at the Italian National Research Council, in 2001 he became professor of chemistry for materials at the Politecnico di Milano.
Research interests
His research interests cover/have covered the following topics:
- enantioselective synthesis of mono- and polyfluorinated compounds[3] and synthesis via perfluorinated reagents (perfluorinated oxaziridines as powerful yet selective oxidizing agents)[4]
- fluorinated contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging[5]
- intermolecular forces and their use in crystal engineering;[6] supramolecular chemistry[7] and self-assembly processes[8] in the design and preparation of functional materials[9][10]
- halogen bond[11][12] and iodine chemistry.
Honors and awards
- Corrado Fuortes award (1986, awarded by Istituto Lombardo di Scienze e Lettere)
- Intermolecular Interactions and Structural Aspects in Organic Chemistry award[13] (2008, awarded by Società Chimica Italiana)
- RSC-SCI Award Lectureship in the Chemical Sciences[14] (2010, bilateral prize awarded by Royal Society of Chemistry/Società Chimica Italiana)
- Member of the Academia Europaea[15] (since 2012)
- Member of the European Academy of Sciences[16] (since 2015)
- Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Fluorine Chemistry (Elsevier)[17] (2001 onwards)
- Topic Editor of Crystal Growth & Design[18] (2012 onwards)
- Advisor of District 2050 Governor for starting Rotary Club Morimondo Abbazia (2012), Club charter member (2013) and president (2015-16)[19]
- Chair of the 21st International Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry (Como, Italy, 2015) [20]
- Knight of Merit of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George (SMOCSG) (2016).[21]
