This month (Feb 2-3th 2023) took place the 1st Reunió de Química Inorgànica i Organometàl·lica (RQIO) 2023 Conference from Societat Catalana de Química (SCQ) in Barcelona, which included a poster session. Valentina Iannace, PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Xavi Ribas, presented a poster titled “Regioselective bis-functionalization of fullerene C70 via supramolecular mask strategy”,
Aromatic polycyclic systems have been extensively utilized as structural subunits for the preparation of various functional molecules. Currently, aromatics-based polycyclic systems are predominantly generated from the extension of two-dimensional (2D) aromatic rings. In contrast, polycyclic compounds based on the extension of three-dimensional (3D) aromatics such as boron clusters are less studied. Here, we report three
Transition-metal-mediated reductive coupling of nitric oxide (NO(g)) to nitrous oxide (N2O(g)) has significance across the fields of industrial chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and environmental health. Herein, we elucidate a density functional theory (DFT)-supplemented mechanism of NO(g) reductive coupling at a copper-ion center, [(tmpa)CuI(MeCN)]+ (1) {tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine}. At -110 °C in EtOH (<-90 °C in MeOH), exposing 1 to NO(g) leads
During Feburary and March, six of the Master in Advanced Catalysis and Molecular Modelling (MACMoM) students will start a internship in Concentrol, Roberlo, Novartis and P&G company (Belgium) to perform their Master research project (TFM). Internship in a company is an optional module of the MACMoM Master, in which the students can perform a full-time
This coming Saturday (11th of February) is the International day of Women and Girls in Science. The IQCC has currently a rather favourable balance in gender ratio of staff members, both at the Master level (50%), PhD level (38%), postdocs (24%) and permanent researchers staff (29%). Notably, out of the 4 most recent permanent members,
A research project led by Sílvia Osuna, ICREA Professor at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG), has been funded with 2 million euros within the Consolidator Grant call of European Research Council (ERC). Research projects funded by the ERC have as main objective to provide the best
The University is closed (until Jan. 9), so all of the best for 2023 and until then: Happy holidays! Girona, December 24, 2022 For more info: gestor.iqcc@gmail.com
Last Thursday took place the XMas edition of the IQCC Forum, a quarterly meeting-place where high-quality science is discussed. The IQCC Forum gives the opportunity for PhD and postdoc members of the IQCC to present their work to a select group of critical researchers, enhancing intra-IQCC collaborations and promoting knowledge exchange within the institute. This will
