Cinnamic acid derivatives:
I'm working on the synthesis of various types of
cinnamic acid
derivatives whereabouts there are pyridyl- or thienyl goup instead of
phenyl. I'm investigating the self-assembly capabilities of Sulphur and
Nitrogen containing cinnamic acid derivatives
(E/Z-3(heteroaryl)propeonic acids) in different type of solvents, in
solid phase and on polycrystalline metal surfaces as well, have resort
to Infrared, Raman
and NMR Spectroscopy
and many surface investigating methods like Atomic Force Microscopy
and Scanning Electron
Microscopy.
I'm engaging with molecular modelling and quantum
chemistry calculations also e.g.: calculations at Hartree-Fock
and post Hartree-Fock levels, "semiempirical"
(PM3, PM6-methods) and "ab
initio" calculations (geometry optimisations and confomational search).
Other interests:
Building electrical circuits controlled by different
type of
microcontrollers especially thermostates, melting point measurers, flow
and pressure controll.
Engineering magnetic susceptibility devices and special
type of acid and base resistant vessels with anaerob capabilities.
