The RSC Medical Chemistry journal features on its cover the recently published research article “Design, quality and validation of the EU-OPENSCREEN fragment library poised to a high-throughput screening collection” by Dr. Jordi Mestres of the DIMOCAT group at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona, also in collaboration with Dr. Harald Schwalbe (Goethe University),
In recent years there has been a surge in the development of methods for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds. However, enzymatic methods for C–F bond formation have been limited to nucleophilic fluoride substitution. In a new work led by Prof. Xiongyi Huang (Johns Hopkins University, USA) and in collaboration with the group of Dr. Marc
Next Tuesday will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Sílvia Escayola Gordils, titled “Exploring the Boundaries of Aromaticity through Computational Analysis of Excited States and Complex Molecular Topologies”, supervised by Prof. Miquel Solà, Dr. Albert Poater from IQCC and Dr. Eduard Matito from DIPC. Place: Aula Magna de la Facultat de Ciències Date: Tuesday May 14th, 2024 Time:
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
Last 25th April took place the Spring edition of the IQCC Forum, a quarterly meeting-place where high-quality science will be discussed. The IQCC Forum gives the opportunity for PhD and postdoc members of the IQCC to present their work to a wide audience. This will lead to better knowledge of the work that is being performed
Dr. Mursaleem Ansari has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Ansari did his PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay on Mechanism of C-H and C=C activation by Mono and Dinuclear FeIV=O Species Using Density Functional Theory under the supervision of Prof. Gopalan Rajaraman in 2021. He has
On April 4th, Dr. Albert Artigas started his MSCA post-docotral project entitled singlet fission in fullerene-based single-material organic solar cells (Full-Fission) under the supervision of Prof. Miquel Solà and co-supervision of Prof. Anna Roglans at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG). This 2-year fellowship will allow Dr. Albert
The first annual report of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG) containing the most important activities developed by the IQCC during 2023 is presented below. Writing an annual report is a valuable practice that goes beyond fulfilling regulatory requirements. It serves as a tool for communication, reflection, and strategic planning, contributing
The C(sp3)–H bond oxygenation of a variety of cyclopropane containing hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by manganese complexes containing aminopyridine tetradentate ligands was carried out. Oxidations were performed in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) using different manganese catalysts and carboxylic acid co-ligands, where steric and electronic properties were systematically modified. Functionalization selectively occurs at the
