Oxidant-free Au-catalyzed reactions are emerging as a new synthetic tool for innovative organic transformations. Still, a deeper mechanistic understanding is needed for a rational design of these processes. Here we describe the synthesis of two Au(I) complexes bearing bidentated hemilabile MICˆN ligands, [AuI(MICˆN)Cl], and their ability to stabilize square-planar Au(III) species (MIC = mesoionic carbene).
Next Friday will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Lorena Capdevila Güell, titled “Chelation-assisted metal-catalyzed functionalization of strong: Csp2-H/Heteroatom bonds: Trapping intermediate species and unveiling mechanistic details”, supervised by Xavi Ribas from IQCC. Place: Aula Magna – Facultat de Ciències Date: July 22, 2022 Time: 10.30h We wish her good luck and all the best!

Last week, Oriol Planas, a former member of the IQCC, was appointed as a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry by Queen Mary University of London, where he will start his own research group at the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. Oriol did his PhD thesis with success on “Cobalt-catalyzed C-H Activation” supervised by Xavi Ribas
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
