The Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) features on its front cover the recently published article “Too Persistent to Give Up: Aromaticity in Boron Clusters Survives Radical Structural Changes”. The work has been carried out by Francesc Teixidor, Clara Viñas, and Ines Bennour of the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), Jordi Poater at

Whereas the aromaticity of closo boranes is widely accepted, less is known about the aromaticity of nidoboranes. This work carried out by Prof. Francesc Teixidor, Prof. Clara Viñas, and Dr. Ines Bennour of the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), Prof. Jordi Poater at the University of Barcelona (previous DiMoCat member) and Sílvia Escayola and
Exploration and comprehension of chemical bonding is one of the central tasks in chemistry. Here, a non-covalent interaction, a nido-cage···? bond, is discovered in a collaborative work between Deshuang Du and Prof. Yan from Nanjing University and Prof. Jordi Poater at the University of Barcelona (ex-IQCC) and Prof. Miquel Solà of IQCC (Univ. Girona). The
The IQCC was created in 1993 (as IQC, focusing only on computational chemistry), and was joined in 2013 by two experimental groups (QBIS, METSO) because of long-standing collaborations and mutual interests. Right now, in this vibrant community of highly motivated researchers that are working on predictive catalysis both at lab benches and through molecular modelling, we
Next Friday (31st of January, 11h, Aula Magna, Faultat de Ciències) will take place the defense of the doctoral thesis of Albert Artigas Ruf titled “Cyclization reactions for the functionalization of fullerenes: Experimental and theoretical studies” supervised by Dr Anna Roglans, Dr Miquel Solà and Dr Agustí Lledó from IQCC We wish him good luck and all the best!
A novel methodology to transform bisallenes into a variety of polycyclic derivatives employing rhodium(I) catalysis has been developed. This transformation encompasses an intramolecular Rh-catalyzed cycloisomerization of bisallenes 1 to deliver a reactive cycloheptadiene, which concomitantly undergoes a regioselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition with alkenes. A complete mechanistic study of this transformation has been undertaken including
On the opening ceremony of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Polish Chemical Society, organized on 2–6 September 2019, in Warsaw, IQCC researcher Miquel Solà was distinguished as Honorary Member of the Polish Chemical Society “for his outstanding scientific achievements and services for the Society“. The distinction has been delivered to Prof. Solà by Prof. Jerzy B?a?ejowski,
We have derived a new set of magic numbers for metallic clusters whose last energy level of valence electrons is half-filled with same-spin electrons in the electronic structure of the jellium model. These numbers may become a powerful tool for finding stable high-spin molecules. The 2N2 + 2N + 1 with S = N +
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
The synthesis and characterization of a covalent all?fullerene C60?Lu3N@Ih?C80 electron donor–acceptor conjugate has been realized by sequential 1,3?dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides on Lu3N@Ih?C80 and C60. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that two fullerenes behaving as both electron donor (Lu3N@Ih?C80) and acceptor (C60) are forming an electroactive dumbbell.
