Yago García-Rodeja and Israel Fernández (Univ. Complutense de Madrid), Miquel Solà from the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) and F. Matthias Bickelhaupt from the Department of Theoretical Chemistry and Amsterdam Center for Multiscale Modeling (ACMM) in the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (usual collaborator of the IQCC) have studied the influence of the encapsulation of
Within the framework of the bilateral agreement between the UdG and the VU University Amsterdam, on May 17 Juan Pablo Martinez defended his PhD thesis in Amsterdam, after having already done so last year in Girona. The presentation to the general public can be found on Youtube.
Antony A. Stasyuk has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Stasyuk did his PhD in the Warsaw University of Technology on experimental and theoretical studies of excited state proton transfer (ESIPT) processes under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Daniel T. Gryko and Prof. Dr. Micha? Cyra?ski.
Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) have attracted much attention since their discovery because of their extraordinary properties and potential applications. The synthesis of EMFs from a carbon soot sample of an arc discharge or laser vaporization leads to many different EMFs that are obtained in different relative abundances. Few of them, like the Sc3N@Ih-C80 trimetallic nitride template
At the beginning of August, the Nature Publishing Group sent out a mail titled “Is your institution a Rising Star?” to all people with an user account at NPG. Interestingly enough, at place 84 of the Nature Index 2016 Rising Stars we find the University of Girona (UdG), as only representative of Spain. The Nature
On 18 november 2016, Juan Pablo Martínez defended with success his PhD Thesis titled “Reactivity of Fullerenes, Endohedral Metallofullerenes, and Nanotubes, and their Possible Application in Solar Energy Conversion” in the Sala de Graus of the Faculty of Science (UdG). The members of the evaluation Committee were Prof. Dr. Frank de Proft from Vrije Universiteit
In 2015, the IQCC organized for the first time the Science Slam, which took place within the general context of the Setmana de la Ciència and was dedicated to Prof. Ramon Carbó-Dorca on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Next week on November 24 the IQCC organizes the second edition to show the most representative
This September, our former member of IQCC Marc Garcia-Borràs was awarded the Premi Extraordinari for the best PhD thesis in 2015 from the University of Girona. Last year, he defended with success his PhD thesis on “Structure and reactivity of endohedral (metallo)fullerenes”, supervised by Josep M. Luis and Miquel Solà. Now, Marc is continuing his research as a
The research team of IQCC formed by Miquel Solà, Juan Pablo Martínez, Pedro Salvador and Ferran Feixas, and coordinated by Albert Poater, has been chosen as best project in the VALCHEM2016 call for transfer of knowledge and technology to the industry by the Research Network in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (XRCTC) with a proposal based
