"L’alto disio che mo t’infiamma e urge,
d’aver notizia di ciò che tu vei,
tanto mi piace più quanto più turge;
ma di quest’acqua convien che tu bei
prima che tanta sete in te si sazi"

(Dante Alighieri – Paradiso XXX, 70-74) Thanks to...



… everyone who stood by me (even if they were distant) during these years of hard
work in the conclusion of my Ph. D. thesis.

… BIM GmbH, especially to Professor J. Hemberger and Dr. J. Bille (or simply Jürgen
and Achim) for having given me the opportunity to carry out this research and to use the
results for my thesis.

… the staff of BIM (including those who don’t belong to the company anymore):
Jürgen, Achim, Alex, Heiko, Antje F., Kai, Antje K., Dirk, Uwe, Claudia, Dagmar,
Manuela, Jeanne, Eva, Andreas, Jean-Charles, Nicolas, Josè, Paolo, Valentino either for
their scientific contribution to the production of the results, or for their friendship and
support.

… Professor Dr. A. Pingoud for having “adopted” me when I was searching for a
“Doktorvater” and for the endless patience, cordiality and availability that he always
demonstrated.

… Dr. P. Czodrowsky for the advices on molecular modelling.

… my family that, despite the distance, has always given me support, strength and
motivation. Thanks for their worries, for their thoughts and for the priceless sacrifices
that they had to face. Thanks for all the love and affection as well as all the phone calls!

… all my friends for the good moments we had together and for having compensated
with their warmth the severe climate of this country.
