Artigas Ruf, Albert (Date of defense: 2020-01-31)
Fullerenes are a group of spherical molecules with outstanding 2/1 physicochemical properties that make them important materials in a variety of fields, ranging from biomedicine to photovoltaics. However, in order ...
Álvarez Yebra, Rubén (Date of defense: 2023-11-07)
Cavitands are macromolecules with a permanent cavity where smaller molecules or ions can be accommodated. The hydrophobic cavity of these supramolecules allows the binding of other molecules though non-covalent interactions, ...
Díaz Jiménez, Àlex (Date of defense: 2024-07-15)
One of the primary objectives in organic synthesis is to devise novel methods for converting simple and readily available compounds into more complex and functionalized structures. In this regard, transition metal-catalyzed ...
Fernández Wang, Martí (Date of defense: 2017-07-20)
This doctoral thesis studies the involvement of challenging unsaturated substrates in the transition-metal catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction, as well as new catalytic systems for the reaction. First, Morita-Baylis-Hillman ...
Vila Vadrí, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-04-21)
The development of novel catalytic methodologies involving the formation of carbon – carbon/heteroatom bonds to produce cyclic systems constitutes a field of great interest in the modern synthetic organic chemistry. Over ...
