anoscale materials are assuming a key role in green

catalysis with a wide number of applications ranging

from fuel conversion, pollution abatement to fine chemicals

production. Many researchers are exploiting the high activity

and selectivity of nanocatalysts to develop greener and waste-

minimized processes. During the last decades, we exploited

nanostructured catalysts based on several metals like Pd,

Cu, Au, Zn, and Ti to perform a wide range of organometallic

reactions such as Heck, Suzuki, Ullmann, Stille, carbonylations,

cyclopropanations, C-H activations, CO

photoreduction etc.

Environmentally friendly conditions were chosen to perform

these processes given by the absence of phosphane ligands and

the use of neoteric solvents (ionic liquids, water, emulsioned

mixtures and so on) as reaction media. This lecture deals with

our recent advances in controlling the catalyst performances by

choosing properly the nature of both the reaction medium and

the nanocatalyst.

Speaker Biography

Angelo Nacci completed his PhD in Chemical Sciences in 1994 at Bari University (Italy).

Next, he became researcher of Organic Chemistry at Chemistry Department of Bari

University. In 2001 was visiting researcher at TUM University of Munich (Germany) and

in 2005 became associate Professor of Organic Chemistry. He is currently the President

of Chemistry Courses Degree at Bari University. Research interests are focused on: i)

organometallic chemistry in ionic liquids; ii) green nanocatalysis; iii) CO

capture and

valorization and iv) synthesis and recycling of bioplastics. He is co-author of almost 80

publicationsonmajor journals,morethan60CommunicationstoCongressand1patent.
