Francesco Neve studied Chemistry at the University of Calabria where he received his Laurea in 1982. After completing a three years-program at the same university in 1988 he received his Ph.D. for work on metal-hydrogen bond formation in polynuclear complexes. In 1989-90 he was a postdoctoral CNR.-NATO fellow at the University of California, Davis, in the group of Prof. Alan L. Balch working at the synthesis of metallomacrocyclic systems. From 1991 to 1998 he has been Ricercatore at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Calabria. Since 1998 he is Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the same Faculty.
Early illuminated on the way of crystal beauty (and chemical design thereafter) by a polish B&W movie ("Struktura krysztalu", K. Zanussi, 1969), his current research work is devoted to supramolecular and materials chemistry. The research topics which are explored vary from transition metal based liquid crystals to organic-inorganic solids to photoluminescent complexes.
He has recently authored a book on carbon forms “Carbonio. Breve storia di un materiale del futuro”.
