A large number of 2D/2D and 3D/3D aromatic fusions that keep their aromaticity in the fused compounds have been synthesized. In addition, we have previously proven the electronic relationship between the 3D aromaticity of boron hydrides and the 2D aromaticity of PAHs. Here we report the possible existence of 3D/2D aromatic fusions that retain the
Dr. Galeotti has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) as a postdoc. Dr. Galeotti received his PhD in Chemistry from University of Rome “Tor Vergata” (Italy) in 2022. During his PhD, he worked with Prof. Massimo Bietti and Prof. Michela Salamone on factors governing reactivity and selectivity
This week at the XXXVIII Bienal RSEQ conference in Granada, three IQCC PhD students won awards for the best poster in different symposia. • Ernest Ubasart, PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Xavi Ribas, presented his work on Large Tetragonal Prismatic Supramolecular Nanocapsules as Multi-Functional Platforms, and won one of the best poster awards in
Anna Rogans and Anna Pla-Quintana were invited recently to write a highlight in the News & Views section of Nature Synthesis to describe the significance of Rh-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions, as reported by Uchiyama, Tanaka and co-workers in their paper in Nature Synthesis. Dr. Roglans and Dr. Pla-Quintana take advantage of their expertise in transition-metal catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions
Yesterday, the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ) and Lilly announced that Laia Vicens i Serra, PhD Student in the QBIS-CAT research group at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) received one of the three 2022 RSEQ-Lilly awards for best PhD studies in orgànic, pharmaceutical and analytiscal chemistry (XX Premios de Investigación para
Today the European Chemical Society announced that Prof. Sílvia Osuna has been granted the EuChemS Lecture Award 2021. This honour is awarded annually to a junior scientist working in chemistry in one of the countries with a EuChemS member organization (in Spain: the Royal Spanish Chemical Society and the Catalan Chemical Society). Candidates are scientists
Since the formulation of the Hückel’s rule, a variety of rules have been proposed to determine if a molecule is aromatic. These allow chemists to better understand molecules and their behavior, as well as identify the formation or elimination of (anti)aromatic species in a reaction, which helps understand and predict possible outcomes. In this comment
Dr. Rudraditya has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) as a María Zambrano Fellow. Dr. Rudraditya received his PhD in Chemistry from University of Hyderabad (India) in 2017. During his PhD, he worked with Prof. Susanta Mahapatra on multimode vibronic dynamics of photoionized molecules and clusters. He
The synthesis and characterization of low-valent group 2 (E = Be and Mg) stabilized compounds have been long pursued. In this article we discuss the electronic structure of a series of Lewis base-stabilized Be and Mg compounds. Despite the accepted zero(0) oxidation state nature of the group 2 elements of some recent experimentally accomplished species,
