Luigi Monsù Scolaro is a full professor in Inorganic Chemistry at the Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, Biologiche, Farmaceutiche ed Ambientali of the University of Messina (Italy). Since 2004, he has been the local director of the Research Unit of Messina for the "Consorzio Interuniversitario di Ricerca dei Metalli nei Sistemi Biologici". He obtained his PhD (1991) on mechanistic aspects of the reactivity in organometallic and coordination platinum(II) complexes. His actual research interests are focused on thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of aggregative phenomena of porphyrins in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions and their supramolecular assembling on biological and inorganic matrices and in confined microenvironments, with special emphasis on the expression and transmission of chirality. He has published around 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals and his h-index is 43 (WoS, June 2021).
