Pierangelo Metrangolo (born 16 April 1972) is vicepres of IUPAC and an Italian chemist with interests in supramolecular chemistry[2] and functional materials.[3] He also has an interest in crystal engineering,[4] in particular by using the halogen bond.[5][6]

Education and professional positions[]

Metrangolo was born in Lecce, Italy. He obtained his PhD in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan in 2001 with a thesis on halogen bonding in supramolecular chemistry.[7] He became assistant professor at the Politecnico di Milano in 2002, where he was promoted to associate professor in 2005 and to full professor of chemistry for technologies in 2011. He is also affiliated to the National Research Council of Italy and holds a visiting professorship at the Aalto University (Finland, since 2015) and at the VTT-Technical Research Centre of Finland (since 2011).
