Education and professional positions
Resnati was born in Monza, Italy. He obtained his PhD in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan in 1988 with Prof. Carlo Scolastico and a thesis on asymmetric synthesis via chiral sulfoxides. After a period of activity at the Italian National Research Council, in 2001 he became professor of chemistry for materials at the Politecnico di Milano.
Research interests
His research interests cover/have covered the following topics:
- enantioselective synthesis of mono- and polyfluorinated compounds[4] and synthesis via perfluorinated reagents (perfluorinated oxaziridines as powerful yet selective oxidizing agents)[5]
- fluorinated contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging[6]
- intermolecular forces and their use in crystal engineering;[7] supramolecular chemistry,[8] Borromean rings,[9] and self-assembly processes[10] in the design and preparation of functional materials[11][12]
- halogen bond[13][14] and iodine chemistry; chalcogen bond.
- green chemistry
