- New molecular hybrid material for electrocatalytic water oxidation at neutral pH
The group of Prof. Antoni Llobet has published on the Advanced Materials journal the first example of a molecular water oxidation catalysts based on first row transition metal complex anchored on a...
- How to avoid mercury in PVC production
Since the 1960s, scientists have been searching for a mercury-free catalyst for the production of the monomer vinyl chloride (VCM), a precursor to the highly demanded polymer polyvinyl chloride (PV...
- Understanding catalytic couplings: not all synergies are simple
Negishi cross-coupling reactions have been widely used to form C-C bonds since the 1970s and are often perceived as the result of two metals (i.e zinc and palladium/nickel) working in synergy. But ...
- Opening up the black box of Heterogeneous Catalysis
Researchers from ICIQ's Lopez group present a new method that allows for the rational design of heterogeneous catalysts. After applying Principal Component Analysis and Regression (PCA) to the adso... - Controversy over molecularity of catalysts solved
Collaborative research between the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) Lloret-Fillol group and the Costas group from the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of ...
- Streamlining radical chemistry
In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier already used 'radical' in his Traité Élémentaire de Chimie - although the term had a slightly different meaning back then. Now, ICIQ researchers are still using radicals ...
