Our research aims to generate applied knowledge in the areas of organic chemistry, catalysis and materials science. We seek to generate scientific knowledge through originality and multidisciplinarity.
As specialists in Organic Chemistry we aim to bring our vision to the creation of molecular complexity, all geared towards sustainability and efficiency in coherence with sustainable development goals. Specifically, our study focuses on:
- The design of new functional materials and the development of alternative applications in catalysis and energy.
- The use of MOF/COV-type systems that can generate high-density functional interfaces resistant to extreme environments.
- The development of new synthetic pathways for obtaining molecular complexity through processes in line with green chemistry.
- The use of hydrogen self-transfer processes to activate diols and generate new structures.
- The development of new structures for photovoltaic systems.
- The development of original methodologies to access polyaromatic compounds from simple structures and with catalysis.
- Development of new resistant materials for energy, biomedical and catalysis applications
- Development of new heterocyclic nitrogen compounds by green reactions to obtain new drugs and sensors.
- Development of new synthetic routes based on the reuse of simple and abundant products such as ethylene glycol to revalorise it and demonstrate its applicability as a synthon in organic chemistry.
- Development of impact contributions that can be relevant at both academic and industrial level to generate synergies between both scientific realities.
- Design of new functional materials for applications in catalysis and energy
Preparation of macroscopic and microscopic nanoporous materials for the development of energy sources, catalyst or nano-container sources. This line of research aims to propose alternative applications of well-established materials in completely different fields, innovating in the application but benefiting from the existing know-how. We focus on post-synthesis surface modifications, filling, and compound (antibiotic) release.
- Development of new structures for photovoltaic systems
Development of polyaromatic structures through green processes from diols through dehydrogenative condensation reactions, with the aim of obtaining fluorescent nitrogenated polyaromatic benzocondensated systems with basic nitrogens (pyridine or quinoline) for the modification of their electronic properties through alkylation reactions.
- Development of new synthetic routes to obtain molecular complexity through processes consistent with green chemistry
Development of new hydrogen autotransfer processes for the generation of molecular complexity with the aim of preparing nitrogenous aromàtic heterocyclic compounds. Applications as sensors and drugs.
