One of the key processing parameters in thermoset composites manufacturing is to have an optimum balance between open time and cure time. Long open times followed with a fast cure profile (also referred as snap cure or “hockey stick” shaped profiles) are required on applications like Pultrusion, Filament Winding, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and Infusion. In this work, several factors affecting the reactivity of a base line polyurethane formulation were studied. The addition of different components such as internal mold release agents, cross-linker, polyols having different molecular structure and isocyanates having different functionality were studied. A literature search was conducted to identify the main catalyst packages existing in the market. The reactivity of catalyst based on tertiary amines, orgamometallic salts, and co-catalyst of amine-organometallic complexes was characterized. Addition of quelants agents such as thioglycerol and acetyl acetone to delay the catalyst activity were also considered. As a consequence of this work a vast reactivity map was generated. This should guide the formulation designer in future product generations for the further development of the mentioned applications. Recommendations on measurements systems and further areas of exploration are also given.

Recent studies on the use of bio-conjugating organometallic probes report on the possibility to use biotinylated-derivatives to selectively coordinate to a specific protein, avidin. In the present thesis, the synthesis of four new bifunctional ligands is described. The ligands contain both a pyridine triazolic unit able to coordinate a transition metal, and a biotin fragment able to bond avidin: the two functionalities are linked together by an appropriate aromatic linker (amide or ester). The obtained ligands were then employed to form luminescent Ir(III) complexes, that have been fully characterized also by a photophysical point of view both in organic and in aqueous solvent. Therefore, titrations of solutions of avidin with aqueous solutions of Ir(III)-complexes have been performed in order to estimate the luminescence variations of the complexes in the presence or in the absence of bio-conjugation.
