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. Check the web for more info.
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.
FuniMAT was present at the International virtual conference on Advances in Molecular Materials Research that was organized by the Visva-Bharati, Jadavour and Osaka universities. Thanks for the invitation! See here for more info.
The work by Belén on the asymmetric distribution of linkers for controlling the photocatalytic activity of UiO-68 crystals has been highlighted as supplementary cover in JACS. Thanks to Natalia and the creative team of Principia for the excellent result. Hope you will like it!
Our entrepreneurial initiative Porous Materials in Action was selected by Impulse to Grow for participating in a mentorship program advises technology companies on M&A transactions and financing for the growth, consolidation, and expansion of the business. Thanks for the support and looking forward for starting our own start-up!
Daniel is Valencian born and breed and will graduate in Chemical Engineering at the University of Valencia by the end of 2021. He has just joined FuniMAT to help us in approaching the validation of our Ti-MOFs of industrial relevance in the detoxification of organic pollutants. He loves comics (unfortunately Marvel mainly) and is a big fan of Physics and Star Wars. May the force be with him!
Natalia comes back to the group after a successful postdoc at Baran’s lab at Scripps Research in La Jolla. As a La Caixa Junior Leader Fellow, she will be leading a new research line that intends to exploit the potential of titanium-organic frameworks in photoredox reactivity. Welcome back!
