Proof-of-Concept of Covalent Metal-Doped Organic Cages for Programmable Catalysis at Scale - 2026_CDR_DCMC_1

Position: Post-doctoral research contract Institute: Polytechnic of Milano
New! Posted on: 18/05/2026 Deadline: 17/06/2026

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

09/ICHI-02 - Chemical Plants And Technologies

Description

The project aims to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of a new class of catalytic systems based on covalent organic cages functionalized through controlled metal doping, in order to develop novel modular and programmable single-atom catalysts capable of delivering high selectivity and activity in reactions relevant to the synthesis of high-value chemicals. The research activity will include the rational design, synthesis, and advanced characterization of the organic cages, with particular emphasis on controlling the local chemical environment around the metal active sites through spectroscopic measurements. These systems will be evaluated in selected chemical transformations, assessing their performance, stability, and scalability.
