We described the use of the ortho-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG) assay developed by Lehrer et al. to which a new mathematical data treatment was applied. This assays is a valuable tool to monitor membrane permeabilization and destabilization.

We develop ligands and study their respective metal assemblies in phospholipid membranes. Anion transport experiments demonstrate the formation of metal–organic synthetic transporters (MOST) directly in phospholipid membranes.

We study the catalytic activity of an in situ generated palladium(II)/biguanides complexes in neat water for the Suzuki–Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. This methodology showcased recyclability of tcross-coupling reactions, performed with small palladium loading.

We exploit the toxicity of imidazolium and benzimidazolium salts in the development of different biological applications by incorporating them in the structure of compounds that specifically target microorganisms and cancereous cells.
