Yesterday, our former member of IQCC Oriol Planas was awarded the Premi Extraordinari for the best PhD thesis in 2018 from the University of Girona. Last year, he defended with success his PhD thesis on “Cobalt-catalyzed C-H functionalization”, supervised by Xavi Ribas and Anna Company. Now, Oriol is continuing his research as a postdoc in the group of Prof. Josep

During the 20th IUPAC International Symposium on Organometallic Chemistry Directed Towards Organic Synthesis (OMCOS 20) that was held from July 21 to 25 in Heidelberg, Germany, Carla Magallon won the poster prize. Her poster had as title “Synthesis and characterization of organometallic iron complexes for gaining mechanistic insights in cross-coupling reactions”. Congratulations Carla!
At the 14th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC) in Lecce (Italy) from 2-6 of June, Ernest won one of the Poster Prizes sponsored by IUPAC, for his poster on “Matryoshka-Like Supramolecular Structure That induce The Regioselective Functionalization of C60”. Congratulations Ernest!
Since 2015 the IQCC is organizing a Science Slam (first, second, third edition). Next week on Monday May 13 the IQCC organizes the fourth 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
Steven Roldán, a PhD researcher of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) working in the QBIS-CAT group won today the public prize of the contest “Your thesis in 4 minutes” held at the University of Girona. It was the video with more likes. The PhD thesis of Steven, supervised by Dr. Josep M. Luís
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
LastJuly 20th 2018,GIOXCAT SL spin-off companyfrom the University of Girona was constituted. The new company will be located in the Scientific and Technological Park, and has been founded by the researchers from the IQCC institute Miquel Costas, Xavi Ribas and Cristina Garcia. GIOXCAT SL activity will be based on the know-how developed by the QBIS-CAT
In 2015 and 2016, the IQCC organized for the first and the second time the Science Slam, which took place within the general context of the Setmana de la Ciència. This week on Friday May 11 the IQCC organizes the thirdedition to show the most representative research projects of the Institute to a wide audience. The research carried out
Xavi Ribas has been awarded one of the four PREMIOS A LA EXCELENCIA INVESTIGADORA awards given by the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (Real Sociedad Española de Química- RSEQ). These are individual awards designed to recognize scientific excellence scientists that have shown scientific leadership in their area. Congratulations Xavi!
Herein we describe the synthesis of a family of aryl-Co(III)-carboxylate complexes and their reactivity with ethyl diazoacetate. Crystallographic, full spectroscopic characterization, and theoretical evidence of unique C-metalated aryl-Co(III) enolate intermediates is provided, unraveling a carboxylate-assisted formation of aryl-Co(III) masked-carbenes. Moreover, additional evidence for an unprecedented Co(III)-mediated intramolecular SN2-type C–C bond formation in which the carboxylate
