Development of 2D and 3D porous materials with applications in catalysis, magnetism and environmental remediation. In particular, the group works with a type of materials called porous coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). To this end, we use the tools offered by coordination chemistry to synthesise materials with known architectures, high structural stability and the possibility of functionalising the pores of the materials "à la carte" using the "complex as ligand" technique. This allows the effective use of these materials both for the selective capture of pollutants and for the preparation of subnanometric metal clusters for application in catalysis.
- Synthesis of highly stable porous coordination polymers (MOFs) using relational assembly methods with oxamate and oxamidate ligands.
- Synthesis of functional compounds in MOFs with catalytic and magnetic applications. This includes both the encapsulation of coordination compounds and subnanometric metal clusters.
- Study of host-guest interactions in these systems and their application in catalysis.
- Study of the pollutant capture properties based on their high stability, water resistance and functionalities.
