Synthesis and Characterization of Bioconjugatable Chemiluminescent Compounds
Deadline: 30/01/2026
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
03/CHEM-03 - General And Inorganic Chemistry
Description
The project focuses on the synthesis of new organic and organometallic chemiluminescent compounds inspired by the regenerative chemiluminescence platform developed within the ERC BioPoweredCL project. Some of these luminophores are already under advanced investigation in the group, and this work aims to modify their structures to introduce standard bioconjugatable functionalities such as activated carboxylic acids, azides, and isocyanates. The compounds will be characterized using standard techniques (NMR, XRD, MS) and thoroughly studied from a photophysical and electrochemical perspective, with particular attention to their chemiluminescent properties. Finally, the optimized luminophores will be tested as prototypes in ELISA/CLIA immunoassays.
