After starting a new research line centered in the selective implantation of amines to heterometallic MOFs, Elena leaves us to start a new adventure as a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Fellow at the group of Joao Rocha in the University of Aveiro-Institute of Materials CICECO. Best luck Elena, we will miss you!

Víctor has received the prize NanoMatMol by the RSEQ to the best thesis in Nanoscience and Molecular Materials in 2019 and the best thesis in Chemistry by the Universidad de Valencia. Well done Víctor!. Check the link for further info.
Congratulations to Dr. Castells-Gil after his excellent remote PhD Thesis defense. The jury was formed by Profs. Serre, Lotsch and Gascón. Javi has done a great job developing new families of titanium-organic frameworks and studied their applications in catalysis. All the best for your new endeavours at the University of Birmingham. Congratulations!
Our work with heterometallic titanium-organic frameworks has been highlighted in the news. The use of these materials in the degradation of nerve agents exemplify one of the many applications that can be accessed by the controlled incorporation of two metals in the inorganic nodes of the MUV-101 family. See the news in English and Spanish.
Natalia has been awarded with one the fifteen prestigious fellowships by the Fundación La Caixa in the category Retaining. These fellowships are intended to foster high-quality, innovative research in Spain and Portugal and to support the best scientific talent by providing them with an attractive, competitive environment in which to conduct excellent research. Check the web for more info.
Aiming to overcome the gender imbalance in STEM, Isabel discussed the current statistics with last years students of IES Baleares high school and encourage them to help to achieve equality in science. Isabel showcased and discussed her research journey and advised them in pursuing a career in science.
This activity was organised by the 11deFebrero association, in which volunteers can contact high schools through an online platform and give talks at schools in celebration with the International day of Women in Science.
Belén took part in the fifth edition of FullprofSuite training organized by CIC energiGUNE (Vitoria). A great opportunity to get started in the structural analysis from powder diffraction data, that has become a useful tool in reticular chemistry. Thanks to the organizing committee! More info.
The evaluating committee of Lindau Nobel Meeting selected Isabel to participate in the 70th anniversary of this landmark event. It gathers Nobel Laureates and young scientists from over a hundred countries in an informal and open atmosphere. The meeting will cover the areas of Chemitry, Physics and Physiology or Medicine.

Our collaboration with Sánchez-Costa lab at IMDEA has been highlighted in the cover of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. Congratulations José!
Our collaboration with Puigmartí´s team on using µfluidics to control the growth and shape of peptide MOFs has been highlighted as supplementary cover in JACS. Thanks to the creative team of Principia for the excellent result. Hope you will like it!
