Title: Schiff bases of the BIAN family and their metal complexes: recent advances from our group

Biosketch 

Fabio Ragaini is full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Milan University, were he did his complete career, except for a period as a visiting scientist at The Pennsylvania State University, with Prof. G. L. Geoffroy. He was the Coordinator of the Interdivisional Group of Organometallic Chemistry of the Italian Chemical Society. He is the author of 136 papers on scientific journals, a monograph entitled “Catalytic Reductive Carbonylation of Organic Nitro Compounds” (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1997), 3 book chapters, and 3 patents. h-index = 43. He is in the list of the 100.000 most impacting scientists in all disciplines (including only 203 Italian chemists, several of which already retired) according to a balanced study published on PLOS Biology (Ioannidis, J. P. A. et al. PLOS Biology 2019, 17, e3000384). 

His interests are mainly centered on organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, with a focus on reduction/carbonylation reactions of nitroarenes for the synthesis of both base (isocyanates, carbamates, ureas) and fine chemicals (nitrogen heterocycles) and on the synthesis and use of nitrogen ligands.
