Fuertes Espinosa, Carles (Date of defense: 2020-07-23)
The use of self-assembly to bring simple building blocks together into complex product, has led to the preparation of an increasing number of sophisticated and functional 3D supramolecular nanocapsules. By understanding ...
Ubasart Clarà, Ernest (Date of defense: 2022-10-28)
The development of supramolecular assemblies with big cavities is important to recognize specific guests or infer a chemo- or regioselective chemistry, in analogy to natural enzymes. The objective of this thesis was to ...
García Simón, Cristina (Date of defense: 2015-04-10)
Coordination-driven self-assembly has led to the realization of an increasing number of elegant and sophisticated functional structures, the structural complexity of which would be difficult to achieve using conventional ...
Acuña-Parés, Ferran (Date of defense: 2016-07-20)
One of the major current scientific goals is the development of renewable energy sources. An effective alternative to fossil fuels consists in the conversion of the sunlight energy into chemical fuels. The molecular hydrogen ...
