About
Welcome to the Bonifazi Research Group website!

The group is led by Professor Davide Bonifazi at the Institute of Organic Chemistry in the University of Vienna.

We do research in synthetic organic chemistry to develop supramolecular architectures that, through the exploitation of their peculiar physical and structural properties, can contribute to the demonstration of key functions or basic concepts at the intersection of physical organic chemistry, materials science and biology.

FFG Spin-off Fellowship awarded

The “IrrevoChrom” project is one out of total eleven recently granted FFG spin-off fellowships that will be led by FFG fellow Laura Maggini and host Davide Bonifazi at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Vienna.

The FFG-funded IrrevoChrom Spin-off Fellowship will build on the patent developed in the Bonifazi group (EP application No EP22164076.6) within the framework of the Charisma Marie-Sklodowska Curie project they are coordinating, entailing the formulation of an irreversible EC matrix composed of both the chromogenic material, an anti-oxidant and electrolyte, to develop and scale-up a commercially viable and completely irreversible electrochromic ink compatible with industrial manufacturing processes.

Upon activation, this ink will provide a stark and permanent color transition (colorless to black), impossible to reverse. Thanks to the new formulations developed in this Fellowship, we will match our technology with industrial ECDs productions processes, jump starting its commercial exploitation, and develop in collaboration with Silicon Austria Labs activatable tamperproof demos.

Organization of STiBNite/VIT Summer School: Self-assembled organic materials

Sponsored by two of our on going EU projects, VIT and STiBNite, the summer school took place at the UniVie Skylounge conference room on 4-5 July 2022.

We were delighted to host stimulating lectures both by external speakers and consortia representatives on the topic of self-assembled organic materials.

Big thanks to our wonderful speakers Renaud Nicolay, Francesco Picchioni, Chiara Gualandi, Timothy Swager, Richard Kelly, Laura Maggini, Takuji Hatakeyama, Emilio Perez, Milan Kivala, Susana Otero, Alexander Kros!

International Day of Women and Girls in Science

In occasion of the “International Day of Women and Girls in Science”, Bonifazi group @ Institute of Organic Chemistry, UniWien, is organizing IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast 2022 taking place online on February 16th.

The aim is to celebrate the accomplishments of women in science and to inspire younger generations to pursue careers in science.

The theme for this year is “Empowering Diversity in Science”. The program will include talks from scientists in academia and industry on their personal experiences as women in science. To create mutual connections, there will be a theme quiz and a panel discussion.

You are very welcome to join us on February 16, 08:45 CET with this link.
