Month: February 2023
Last month (Jan. 30-31, 2023) took place the 1st Reunió de Química Teòrica i Computacional (RQTC) 2023 Conference from Societat Catalana de Química (SCQ) in Barcelona, which included a poster session. Janet Sánchez, master student under the supervision of Prof. Sílvia Osuna, presented a poster titled “Computational design of new kinases for suicide cancer gene
Valentina Iannace wins poster prize at First Inorg/OrgMet Conference of Societat Catalana de Química
This month (Feb 2-3th 2023) took place the 1st Reunió de Química Inorgànica i Organometàl·lica (RQIO) 2023 Conference from Societat Catalana de Química (SCQ) in Barcelona, which included a poster session. Valentina Iannace, PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Xavi Ribas, presented a poster titled “Regioselective bis-functionalization of fullerene C70 via supramolecular mask strategy”,
Aromatic polycyclic systems have been extensively utilized as structural subunits for the preparation of various functional molecules. Currently, aromatics-based polycyclic systems are predominantly generated from the extension of two-dimensional (2D) aromatic rings. In contrast, polycyclic compounds based on the extension of three-dimensional (3D) aromatics such as boron clusters are less studied. Here, we report three
Transition-metal-mediated reductive coupling of nitric oxide (NO(g)) to nitrous oxide (N2O(g)) has significance across the fields of industrial chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and environmental health. Herein, we elucidate a density functional theory (DFT)-supplemented mechanism of NO(g) reductive coupling at a copper-ion center, [(tmpa)CuI(MeCN)]+ (1) {tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine}. At -110 °C in EtOH (<-90 °C in MeOH), exposing 1 to NO(g) leads
During Feburary and March, six of the Master in Advanced Catalysis and Molecular Modelling (MACMoM) students will start a internship in Concentrol, Roberlo, Novartis and P&G company (Belgium) to perform their Master research project (TFM). Internship in a company is an optional module of the MACMoM Master, in which the students can perform a full-time
This coming Saturday (11th of February) is the International day of Women and Girls in Science. The IQCC has currently a rather favourable balance in gender ratio of staff members, both at the Master level (50%), PhD level (38%), postdocs (24%) and permanent researchers staff (29%). Notably, out of the 4 most recent permanent members,
