Every year in November, the IQCC is organizing together with the Scientific Culture and Digital Communication (C4D) unit of the UdG some activities for Science Week with the aim to bring our science closer to the Girona general public. Last Friday, November 17, 2023, the Diada de Sant Albert took place at Science Faculty of UdG. The

Dr. Carles Fuertes has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Fuertes did his PhD at the IQCC/University of Girona on supramolecular nanocapsules as platforms for molecular recognition and reactivity in confined spaces under the supervision of Prof. Xavi Ribas in 2020. He has postdocotral experience at University of Cambride (United Kingdom)
Adriàn Romero was graduated in Chemistry at the University of Girona and he performed the PhD in the former Institut de Química Computacional i Catàlisi (IQCC) under the supervision of Prof. Marcel Swart and Prof. Sílvia Osuna in the field of computational studies of enzymatic and biomimetic catalysts. Then, he worked as a postdoctoral investigator in Uppsala University (Sweden).
Last Thursday, the IQCC organized the fourth edition of the IndustryQCC Forum with four national and international companies (Concentrol, UQUIFA, AGC Pharma Chemicals Europe and Chemotargets) during the Science Week. The IndustryQCC Forums provide young (and more advanced) researchers of IQCC the opportunity to get to know the research carried out in (bio)chemical industry in different parts
Gemma Font was graduated in Chemistry at the University of Girona and she performed the master in the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) and she did the master thesis between the IQCC and the Proter & Gamble (in Belgium) in the field of two type of natural BOLA surfactants. Then, she worked as a associate researcher in
Dr. Jordi Mestres (Girona, 1967) graduated in chemistry in 1990 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and received his doctorate in 1995 (specializing in computational chemistry) from the University of Girona, with short research stays at the Université de Paris-Sud (Paris, France; 1992) and Rice University (Houston, USA; 1993). Parallel to his research
Next Tuesday will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Rubén Álvarez Yebra, titled “Development of flexible cavitands receptors based on calixarene. Rational design, synthesis and study of their properties”, supervised by Dr. Agustí Lledó from IQCC. Place: Aula Magna de la Facultat de Ciències Date: Tuesday November 7th, 2023 Time: 11.30am We wish him good luck and all the
Last 19th October took place the Autumn 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 in
Journal of the American Chemical Society features on its supplementary cover the recently published research article “Single-Not Double-3D-Aromaticity in an Oxidized Closo Icosahedral Dodecaiodo-Dodecaborate Cluster”. 3D-aromatic molecules with (distorted) tetrahedral, octahedral, or spherical structures are much less common than typical 2D-aromatic species or even 2D-aromatic-in-3D systems. Closo boranes, [BnHn]2– (5 < n < 14) and carboranes are examples of compounds
On May 1 st 2023, Dr. Marco Galeotti started his MSCA postdoctoral project entitled Implementing Cationic Paths in Aliphatic C-H Oxidation (ICAT-PACHO), under the supervision of Prof. Miquel Costas at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of University of Girona (UdG). This 2-year fellowship will allow Dr. Marco Galeotti to start a new project devoted to the study of
