Determination of molecular structures using diffraction methods (X-ray crystallography).
Synthesis and chemical characterization of anti-tumor coordination and organometallic compounds, to describe structure-activity relationships especially from a molecular and electronic viewpoint.
DFT calculations to study natural compounds involved in antioxidant activity, useful to scavenge free radicals. This applies to help prevention of degenerative diseases, like cancer, etc.
Correlation between solid state structure and in solution through spectroscopic NMR properties, constant coupling J1(metal-31P), and Mossbauer (Sn-C quadrupole splitting).
Recent Scientific Activities: Docking techniques applied to macromolecules (proteins and DNA).
