Monti Filippo

Born in Bologna in 1985. I obtained my PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2013 from the University of Bologna. I have been a researcher at CNR-ISOF since 2017, and senior researcher since 2023.

Experimental and theoretical photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules, transition-metal complexes, supramolecular and periodic systems. Research lines cover solar energy conversion, electroluminescent devices, and photocatalysis for green chemistry.

PE5_2 Solid state materials chemistry

UV, visible and near-infrared absorption and emission spectroscopy, in steady-state or time-resolved mode, on solution or solid-state samples, including determination of photoluminescence quantum yields and excited-state lifetimes by time-correlated single photon counting, and actinometry. Mathematical models (SVD, EFA, PCA and others) for multidimensional spectroscopic data analysis, including transient absorption matrices, titrations, and multi-component analysis. Electrochemical (cyclic and square-wave voltammetry, chronoamperometry) and spectroelectrochemical techniques (in absorption and/or emission), in solution and/or thin film. Computational methods based on density functional theory (DFT and TD-DFT) and post-Hartree-Fock approaches (CASSCF, CC) applied to organic molecules, organometallics, transition-metal complexes, and 1D, 2D and 3D materials (periodic boundary conditions), using dedicated software (Gaussian, ORCA, OpenMolcas, Molpro, CRYSTAL, QuantumEspresso). Python scripting.
