Next week Tuesday will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Laia Vicens Serra, titled “Implementing amino acids in manganese-catalyzed biologically inspired oxidations: g-lactonization and ligand design”, supervised by Prof. Miquel Costas from IQCC. Place: Sala de Graus de la Facultat de Dret Date: Tuesday July 18, 2023 Time: 11.00h We wish her good luck and all
Last week the Grupo Especializado de Química Organometálica (GEQO – RSEQ) announced that Miquel Costas, full professor at the Institut de Química Computacional i Catàlisi (IQCC) of the UdG, received the Medalla Rafael Usón award of GEQO – RSEQ 2023, for his outstanding scientific trajectory and contributions to the field of organometallic chemistry, in particular
Last 20th April took place the 30 years IQC(C) celebration. This wonderful moment was celebrated by a symposium and get-together in Girona. Schedule (Aula Magna, Science Faculty) 09.30h Opening by Honorific Director Prof. Ramon Carbó-Dorca and ViceRector Research Dr. Maria Pla de Solà-Morales Session 1: Chair: Lorenzo D’Amore 09.50h-10.15h Jordi Mestres – “From Similarity to
The Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG) is a worldwide reference unit in computational chemistry and catalysis that aims at carrying out groundbreaking research on predictive chemistry for catalysis, with special focus on the processes occurring at the confined space for the coming years. One of the pillars
Since 2015 the IQCC is organizing a Science Slam. On Tuesday April 25th the IQCC organizes the seven edition to show the most representative research projects of the Institute to a wide audience. The research carried out within each of the research teams of the IQCC will be briefly summarized by the PIs (2 minutes).
This month (Feb 5-10th 2023) at the European-Winter School on Physical Organic Chemistry (E-WISPOC23) in Bressanone (Italy), Najoua Choukairi, PhD student under the supervion of Prof. Miquel Costas, presented her work on syn-dihydroxylation and won one of the best flash award awards. Congratulations Najoua!
Last month, three PIs of the Institut de Químicia Computacional i Catàlisi (IQCC) were promoted to Full professor at the University of Girona: Prof. Lluís Blancafort, Prof. Miquel Costas and Prof. Xavi Ribas. Lluís Blancafort Lluís Blancafort received his degree in chemical engineering at the Institut Químic de Sarrià (Barcelona) in 1991. He obtained his PhD
Reactions that enable selective functionalization of strong aliphatic C–H bonds open new synthetic paths to rapidly increase molecular complexity and expand chemical space. Particularly valuable are reactions where site-selectivity can be directed toward a specific C–H bond by catalyst control. Herein we describe the catalytic site- and stereoselective ?-lactonization of unactivated primary C–H bonds in
Two oxoiron(IV) isomers ( R2a and R2b) of general formula [FeIV(O)(RPyNMe3)(CH3CN)]2+ are obtained by reaction of their iron(II) precursor with NBu4IO4. The two isomers differ in the position of the oxo ligand, cis and trans to the pyridine donor. The mechanism of isomerization between R2a and R2b has been determined by kinetic and computational analyses
