Maria´s work has been published in Chemical Communications. The work is focused on the use of amphiphilic modulators to control the formation of titanium MOF nanoparticles with minimum impact to the framework to enable the fabrication of highly porous thin films. Click for more info.
Clara graduated in Chemistry in 2020 at the University of Valencia. She has also completed the International Double Degree in Organic Chemistry between the UV and the University of Strasbourg (UNISTRA)-École européenne de Chimie, Polymères et Matériaux (ECPM). She will be working in the design and evaluation of porous photocatalysts. Good luck Clara!
Sabine is originally from Austria. She joins us with an Erasmus internship from the University of Graz after completing her Master in Technical Chemistry. She will approach new strategies for the design of bimetallic MOFs and bioconjugation chemistry. Good luck!
Guillermo and Víctor were born in Valencia. They will finish their BsC in Chemistry at the Universitat de València in 2022. They will look into the fundamentals of biodesign in crystalline frameworks. Good luck!
Javi´s work during his stay in KAUST in J. Gascón´s group has been published in Chem Catalysis. The work illustrates the exciting possibilities offered by MUV-101(Fe) for the production of catalytic materials not accessible through traditional synthetic routes and opens the door to translating the atomic control of metal composition and distribution of the parent MOF onto complex mixed-oxide structures with industrial applications.

Elenas work has been published as hot paper in Angewandte. Her work introduces the first example of isoreticular titaniumorganic frameworks, MUV-10 and MUV-12, to show how the different affinity of hard Ti(IV) and soft Ca(II) metal sites can be used to direct selective grafting of amines for cooperative cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Yahiya Saleh Walie will graduate in Chemical Engineering at the University of Valencia by the end of 2021. He will work with us in testing some of our patented MOFs in the degradation of postharvest pesticides.
Emilie is originally from Lille. She joins with an Erasmus internship from the University of Lille. She will approach new strategies for the design of reticulated catalysts. Good luck!
Carlos presented our recent results in charge transport, photoactivity and chemical reactivity in metal-organic frameworks at the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería in Perú in a virtual seminar organized by Juan Carlos Morales Gomero.
