Electrolysed water generation, analysis, stability and application studies of electrolysed water.
Our research basically consists of the preparation and characterisation of new oxidative and/or hydrolytic metallo-nucleases, mainly based on metal ion coordination compounds of biological interest with triazole-type ligands and sulfonamide-type ligands.
Design and synthesis of new chiral ligands capable of forming complexes with metal ions useful as chiral catalysts (Lewis acids). Design and synthesis of new chiral organic catalysts by proton transfer, hydrogen bridge formation or phase transfer.
Use of chiral catalysts (metal complexes and organocatalysts) in new reactions of interest in organic synthesis in which C-C bonds and stereogenic centres are generated simultaneously. Synthesis of chiral building blocks.
The current analytic chemistry and the adaptation of the new available instrumentation to research, allows the detection and characterisation of compounds at very low concentration levels, allowing the study of emerging pollulants, which only a few years ago was not possible to detect.
Microbiological control of food- Traceability systems and HACCP- Analyses of pollutants through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: Study of extraction techniques, Development of analytical methods, Interpretation of analytical data by means of chemometric techniques.
Development of new advanced porous materials for implementation in applications of environmental interest, such as solar energy conversion or the development of a new generation of electronic devices combining porosity with electrical response.
Aimed at developing the validation strategies for the analytical parameters of a procedure.
Development of molecule and nanomaterial synthesis using solid-state microwaves.
New analysis strategies in miniaturised chromatographic techniques which incorporate solid phase microextraction in tubes with new (nano)materials.
Design, synthesis and characterisation of molecular materials with various properties of interest that can be modulated by chemical design or external stimuli such as temperature, light, pressure, magnetic field or others.
The research is planned in two directions: nanomaterials characterisation including strategies for its detection and/or analytic determination and the study of its characteristics and its influence in the improvement of analytic parameters.
Development of strategies for more sustainable processes and products, in particular in the chemical, materials and food industries. It also includes dissemination and training in current aspects of bioeconomy, circular economy, climate change and life cycle analysis.
