Laboratory of Structural & Supramolecular Chemistry

Dr. Konstantina Yannakopoulou

 

Konstantina Yannakopoulou graduated from the Chemistry Department, University of Athens. She earned a research scholarship in Nuclear Research Center “Demokritos” where she stayed for two semesters (1982) and then she moved to South Carolina, US, where she earned a MS degree in Chemistry with Prof. R. A. Abramovitch at Clemson University (1985) entitled “Remote Intramolecular Functionalization of Arylnitrenium Ions. Seven-membered Ring Formation”. She obtained her PhD degree in Chemistry with Prof. A. R. Katritzky at the University of Florida (1988) on “N-(α-Aminoalkyl)benzotriazoles: Equilibria and Reactions”. After an eight-month post-doctoral stay at the same laboratory she joined the Institute of Physical Chemistry, National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in 1989, also as a post-doc. In 1996 she became a staff-member and in 2006 she became Researcher A and since Oct. 2011 is in charge of the Laboratory of Structural and Supramolecular Chemistry. Her research interests focus on molecular structure-properties relations and particularly on the characterization of host/guest interactions, stability and equilibria of cyclodextrin-guest systems, synthetic modifications of cyclodextrins to functional host molecules and their biological applications. She has authored and co-authored over 52 papers, and presented her work in more than 46 conference publications.
