Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
He holds degree in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (1978) and a PhD in Chemistry (Physical Chemistry) from the University of São Paulo (1988). He is currently Assistant Professor 2 at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP) of the University of São Paulo. Has experience in chemistry, with emphasis on molecular quantum chemistry and chemical bonding, working mainly on the following subjects: hydrogen bonds, interactions between aromatic rings, ("stacking"), intermolecular bonds and aromaticity. It also develops practices in computational quantum chemistry for undergraduate and graduate students. He regularly coordinates cultural and university extension workshops and courses. He is the president of the FFCLRP-USP foundation. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In this project we will study the electronic structure and the inter- and intermolecular interactions in cyclophanes of different sizes, by use of electronic density analysis, energy decomposition techniques, as well as the analyse the aromaticity of the studied systems. Initially, the 2,3 cycloalkanes will be studied to clarify the role of through space and through bond interactions in t…

The project concerns the development and application of a versatile and efficient computational toolbox for the analysis of solution-state structure, conformation, and absolute configuration of chiral molecular systems using Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) - the infrared circular dichroism due to vibrations of chiral molecules. The resulting user-friendly instrument will significantl…
Sequestration, activation, and catalytic transformations of carbon dioxide (CO2) have attracted much attention in last years, because of its increasing concentration in the atmosphere. The understanding of all these processes is essential for the development and improvement of new catalysts, materials and procedures associated with CO2 fixation. The current study intends to clarify, at th…
The aim of this project is to explore the vibrational spectra, the energetics and the electronic structure of [2,2]cyclophanes. Initially, the non-substituted compounds will be studied. After that, the effect of donor and acceptor substituents in the decks and in the bridges will be studied. There are also the possibility of the study of several measures of aromaticity, and its treatment …

Vibrational spectroscopy is one of the most important tools for characterizing the structure of molecules. An example is the Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD), the infrared circular dichroism due to vibrations of chiral molecules. One way to reproduce the vibrational spectrum and to provide frequencies and normal modes is known as the Normal Mode Analysis (NMA), which requires the diag…
The biological relevance of nitric oxide has triggered an enormous interest in the physicochemical properties of these molecules and many experimental and theoretical studies have been devoted to explore its behavior and involvement in biochemical processes. An issue of great importance is the controlled release of NO into, or its removal from a physiological environment using in particul…
This project aims to contribute to the understanding of the electronic structure of ozone and its sulfur analogs through valence bond methods. With this work we intend to incorporate these methods into the arsenal used in the laboratory so that we can have a thorough understanding of chemical bonding in systems that we investigate, through the most current methods. Also, we should start a…
