Prof. Stefano Brenna is an Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Science and High Technology of the University of Insubria (Italy). He obtained his Master’s degree in Chemistry with honors in 2000 and his PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2004 at the same institution, under the supervision of Prof. G. Attilio Ardizzoia. Later, he carried out postdoctoral research at Heidelberg University (Germany) as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in the group of Prof. J. Blümel, focusing on advanced NMR spectroscopic techniques for the characterization of ionic liquids immobilized on solid supports. He subsequently returned to the University of Insubria, where he has held academic positions since 2006. His research activity centers on the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization of coordination and organometallic compounds of transition metals, with applications in homogeneous catalysis and materials chemistry. In recent years, his work has increasingly focused on luminescent d¹⁰ metal complexes and on the investigation of structure–property relationships governing their photophysical behavior, in particular with [imidazo(1,5-a)pyridine] ligands. He is a coauthor of more than 50 papers in scientific international peer-reviewed journals and is currently serving as a Referee for several Journals in the field.
