Javier Castells obtained the 2021 award by the Valencia territorial section of the Real Sociedad Española de Química for the best doctoral thesis: «Photoactivity and Chemical Reactivity in Titanium(IV)-Organic Frameworks”. The prize is endowed with 1,200 euros. Congratulations Javi!
Natalia has received the 2022 the Innova award from the SusChem-Spain Sustainable Chemistry Technology Platform for researchers under the age of 40, for her work on a new class of sustainable P(V) reagents developed at the Scripps Research Institute, in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb. This recognition adds up to the the Robert Robinson Award from the Organic Division of the RSC and the the Green Chemistry Challenge Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Congratulations Natalia!
Congratulations to Dr. Lerma-Berlanga after his succesful PhD Thesis defense. The jury was formed by Prof. Daniel Maspoch (ICN2), Beatriz Pelaz (CIQUS) and Carl Brozek (USA). Belén has done an amazing job during her stay at the group exploring the chemical complexity of zirconium and titanium porous crystals. All the best for your future endeavors!
Belen´s work has been published in JACS. The manuscript describes the use of hydroxamate linkers for the assembly of titanium-organic cages with permanent porosity (near 1200 m2·g-1) that are also amenable to multivariate modification.
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.
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.
