## Education and professional positions

Resnati was born in Monza, Italy. He obtained his PhD in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan in 1988 with Prof. Carlo Scolastico and a thesis on asymmetric synthesis via chiral sulfoxides. After a period of activity at the Italian National Research Council, in 2001 he became professor of chemistry for materials at the Politecnico di Milano.

## Research interests

His research interests cover/have covered the following topics:

* enantioselective synthesis of mono- and polyfluorinated compounds[3] and synthesis via perfluorinated reagents (perfluorinated oxaziridines as powerful yet selective oxidizing agents)[4]
* fluorinated contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging[5]
* intermolecular forces and their use in crystal engineering;[6] supramolecular chemistry,[7] Borromean rings,[8] and self-assembly processes[9] in the design and preparation of functional materials[10][11]
* halogen bond[12][13] and iodine chemistry; chalcogen bond.
* green chemistry

## Honors and awards

* Corrado Fuortes award (1986, awarded by Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere)
* Intermolecular Interactions and Structural Aspects in Organic Chemistry award[14] (2008, awarded by Società Chimica Italiana)
