Abilio Jose Fraga do Nascimento Sobral
Principal Researcher with Habilitation
The Laboratory of Chemistry of Macromolecules belongs to the Soft Matter research group of the Coimbra Chemistry Centre (CQC) and is located at the Department of Chemistry of the University Coimbra.
This Laboratory conducts work in a variety of systems, including the synthesis of organic and organometallic compounds for applications in medicinal chemistry, environmental chemistry, and energy. The new materials range from medical drugs for Photodynamic Therapy, structural studies of organic compounds from natural sources, fluorescent compounds for imaging and sensors, metal-organic-frameworks for gases adsorption and in situ chemical modification to template based metallic nanoparticles for hydrogen adsorption.
