Rafaela Tenera Marques completed the MSc in Chemistry in 2021 and BSc in Chemistry in 2018 by Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Ciências. She co-supervised 2 work of course completion of LSc/BSc. She was a member of organizing committee of 2 international events and participated in 3 events. She participated in a Master Student Fellow in 1 project. She works in the area of Exact Chemical Sciences with emphasis in Inorganic Chemistry. She is skilled in inorganic synthesis field. During BSc she synthesized and characterized new iron(III) and cobalt(II) complexes with hydrazide derived ligands for their ability to have spin crossover properties. After, during MSc, she synthesized and characterized luminescent spin crossover iron(III) compounds.
Her current work during her PhD focuses on the synthesis of cyptands and cryptates, as well as the quantification of gaseous and liquid products from photocatalytic CO2 reduction triggered by visible light.
