Our collaboration with David Écija´s lab at IMDEA Nanoscience has been published in JACS. The wok describes how the use of conductive surfaces to template the growth of 2D networks based on HTTP linkers enables to obtain unprecedented 2D topologies that preserve a large orbital magnetic moment.

WE BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND COOPERATE WITH SMART PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD
The recent work by Belén and Carol has been published in Angewandte Chemie. The manuscript demonstrates the general value of tetrazine linkers as plug-and-play tags for general framework functionalization in one-step and how this ligation strategy can be can useful to produce crystalline fulleretic materials by controlling the spatial distribution of C60 molecules in the framework.
Funimat was present at the ACS Symposium held in Chicago. Natalia, Sergio and Carlos presented our most recent results in the synthesis, processing and engineering of titanium MOFs in symposium dedicated to MOF chemistry whereas Neyvis participated in the Catalysis and reactivity symposium.
The company Porous Materials in Action (PMA), the second spin-off promoted by the for the synthesis and valorization of advanced porous materials useful for industry, has received the 7th VLCStartup award of the Parc Científic of University of Valencia and Banco Santander in the «laboratory» category.
Damian is originally from Poland. He joins us with a Polish internship from the Jagiellonian University of Krakow where he is developing his PhD at the group of Dariusz Matoga. He will approach new strategies for the design of tetrazine MOFs.
After 2 years of COVID suspension we were looking forward to participating in the XIV edition of Expociencia. Close to 50% of the group (Eloy, Natalia, Violeta, Carmen, Clara, Neyvis, Ana and Belén) prepared new activities to approach chemistry to a very young audience.
Carlos has received the 2022 Research Excellence Prize of the Spanish Royal Society in Chemistry for his contributions in the last 5 years to the field of porous molecular frameworks.
Víctor Rubio and Javier López have been awarded Margarita Salas and María Zambrano Fellowships from the Agencia Estatal de Investigación to continue their academic careers at the Katholic University of Leuven (Belgium) and the University of Kyoto (Japan).
Carlos Martí Gastaldo was invited as a speaker in which he presented his work Practising Reticular Chemistry with Titanium-Organic Frameworks. Also Clara and Eloy, our first year PhD students have participated with their posters.
Carlos Martí-Gastaldo, group leader of the FuniMAT group at the ICMol of the University of Valencia, has been awarded a prestigious Consolidator Grant of 2 million euros from the European Research Council (ERC) for the development of his project LIVINGPORE. The project aims to develop innovative strategies to «program» the chemistry and the structural response of porous MOF-type materials.
