Oxygenation of organic substrates by iron metalloenzymes occurs with high levels of selectivity, mainly because of the exquisite control of both the primary and the secondary sphere of the iron center. Lots of efforts have been done in reproducing the efficiency of enzymatic systems, mainly tuning the first coordination sphere of the metal with very

Next Friday (5th of November 11.00h, Aula Magna – Facultat de Ciències) will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Margarida Borrell Recasens, titled “Small-molecule mimics of Rieske oxygenases.Application to selective aliphatic C-H hydroxylation and olefin syn-dihydroxylation”, supervised by Miquel Costas from IQCC. We wish her good luck and all the best! Girona, October
The IQCC is starting a new series of online talks to address challenges in the research fields where the IQCC is playing a role, through the investigations of one of the Principal Investigators. An external expert is invited to give a seminar, together with one of the junior researchers of the IQCC. These complementary views will highlight
The journal Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis features on its front cover the recently published paper “Aromatic C?H Hydroxylation Reactions with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Bulky Manganese Complexes”. The oxidation of aromatic substrates to phenols with H2O2 as a benign oxidant remains an ongoing challenge in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we successfully achieved to catalyze aromatic C?H
Today the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ) and Lilly announced that Margarida Borrell Recasens, PhD student at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) received one of the three 2021 RSEQ-Lilly awards for best PhD studies in organic, pharmaceutical and analytical chemistry (XIX Premios de Investigación para Alumnos de Doctorado en las áreas de
The Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis of the University of Girona organizes the 2021 virtual edition of the Science Slam to show the most representative research projects of the Institute to a wide audience. A Science Slam is a form of science communication where scientists present their own scientific research work in a short
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
Dr. Giorgio Capocasa has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Capocasa did his PhD at University of Rome La Sapienza (Italy) on a supramolecular approach to hydrrocarbon functionalization under the supervision of Prof. Stefano Di Stefano in 2021. At this moment, he holds a postdoc position
Dr. Muthuramalingam Sethuraman has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC).
