Template-driven strategy is widely explored for the synthesis of nano/micro materials. Of all the templates studied, naturally occurring biological systems such as proteins, viruses and bacteria have attracted more attention due to the prolific sources and complex structural diversities. Herein, we report a simple bacteria templated synthesis of silver microspheres over a bottom-up controlled route. These as-prepared silver microspheres not only have narrow size distribution but possess hollow and porous structures. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiments using 2-mercaptopyridine (2-Mpy) as probing molecules show that these hollow porous microspheres can act as excellent substrate for ultrasensitive detecting. The detection limit is as low as 10−15 M and the enhancement factor reaches to 1011. Compared with other conventional SERS substrates, the reproducible, high sensitive and cost-effective Ag microspheres could become an ideal substrate choice for practical SERS application.

Plasmonics and chirality in metal nanomaterials are intriguing and inspiring phenomena. Nanoscale chirality of metal nanomaterials has emerged as a hot topic in the past several years. Generally, most plasmon-induced circular dichroism (CD) responses of nanomaterials (> 10 nm) have been artificially created by modifying pre-made achiral nanomaterials with chiral agents, because the in situ generation of plasmon-induced CD responses of nanomaterials with larger size (> 10 nm) is not easy. Herein, we report a simple one-pot green synthesis of chiral gold nanoflowers (GNFs) with abundant petal-shaped tips in the chiral reduction environment arising from the presence of chiral guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) and the chiral reducing agent L-ascorbic acid (L-AA). Different reducing agents can impact the shape and chirality of the products. In addition, the size and chirality of the GNFs can be controlled by adjusting the reaction time. The as-synthesized GNFs have good biocompatibility and can be used for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement, cellular dark-field imaging and photothermal therapy.

The application of the oxidative system composed of a heterogeneous triazolium pre-catalyst, iron(II) phthalocyanine and air is described for the selective conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into the added-value 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA). The disclosed one-pot two-step procedure involved sequential oxidative esterifications of HMF to afford a polyester oligomer having hydroxyl and carboxyl terminal groups (Mw = 389–1258), which in turn was hydrolyzed by a supported base (Ambersep 900 OH) to yield HMFCA in 87% overall yield. The same strategy was adopted for the effective synthesis of ester and amide derivatives of HMFCA by nucleophilic depolymerization of the oligomeric intermediate with methanol and butylamine, respectively. The utilization of the disclosed oxidative system for the direct conversion of HMF and furfural into their corresponding ester, amide, and thioester derivatives is also reported.
About Me
Omar Ginoble Pandoli earned his MSc in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies (University of Bologna, 2003), followed by a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2008), focusing on guanosine self-assembly. His postdoctoral training began at the University of Ferrara (2009) on immobilized organocatalysts for continuous flow synthesis. He then joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2009–2011) through the European-China Science Fellowship, gaining expertise in microreactor design, microfluidics, and chiral metal nanoparticles. He served as Assistant and Adjunct Professor at Pontifícia Universidade Católica (Rio de Janeiro) between 2012–2022. In 2022, he joined UNIGe as a researcher, with affiliations to IIT’s Materials Characterization Facility (2024) and IMEM-CNR (2025). Currently Associate Professor at UNIGe, he has mentored 22 students in advanced catalysis, microfluidic photocatalysis, and carbon materials. Since 2016, his research includes lignocellulosic-based and monolithic carbon devices from bamboo biomass. He has authored 67 papers (h-index 20), 3 book chapters, and holds 4 patents (Italy, Brazil, pending).
