International Day of Women and Girls in Science at IQCC 2025

This coming Tuesday (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 (54%), PhD level (47%), postdocs (21%) and permanent researchers staff (29%). Notably, out of the 4 most recent permanent members,

A 5000-fold Increase in the HAT Reactivity of a Nonheme Fe(IV)=O Complex

Nature has chosen high-spin iron(IV)=O oxidants for nonheme iron enzymes with mononuclear active sites to cleave strong substrate C–H bonds. In our efforts to mimic such enzyme active sites and understand the properties of their biomimetic analogs, a new S = 1 FeIV=O complex has been synthesized with oxidative properties superior to those of the
