The Chemical Communications journal features on its front cover of the September 2025 issue the research article “Aromaticity of All-Metal Clusters” by Prof. Miquel Solà in collaboration with Dr. Alvaro Muñoz-Castro group. The first all-metal aromatic cluster, Al42?, face-capped by an M+ cation (M = Li, Na, Cu), was detected in 2001. Since then, several all-metal aromatic clusters have been extensively studied.
Dr. Hannes Meinert has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Meinert did his PhD at the University of Greifswald (Germany) on Biocatalytic Synthesis of Carbamates Using Promiscuous Esterases/Acyltransferases under the supervision of Prof. Uwe T. Bornscheuer in collaboration with Hans Iding from F.Hoffmann-La Roche in 2025. At this moment,
On July 11, the graduation ceremony for the Master in Advanced Catalysis and Molecular Modelling (MACMoM) students of the IQCC, University of Girona, took place at the Auditorium of Girona. During the 2024–2025 academic year, there were 14 students enrolled. The master’s program is taught entirely in English and equips students with the skills needed
