The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Scientific-technical goals: - Research in Quantum Theory of Molecular Magnetism. The aim of this group is to study, both experimentally and theoretically the interest of magnetic molecules in spintronics and quantum computing. The specific objectives to reach this general goal can be summarized as follows:
- The synthesis by design of new single-molecule magnets based on lanthanoid complexes in which their properties as magnets or as spin qubits can be tuned by playing with the geometry of the coordination site and with the nature of the surrounding ligands, including radical species.
- The synthesis and characterization of electrically switchable magnetic molecules in which an electric field can be used to tune the spin state of the molecule at the nanoscale.
- The advanced physical characterization and theoretical modelling of these molecules with the aim of exploring the chemical, structural and electronic factors that determine the properties of these spin molecules and their applications in molecular nanospintronics (electric control of the spin in magnetic molecules) and in quantum computing (design of coherent molecular spin qubits).
