Enzymes have evolved through years until becoming great catalysts that present high selectivity, specificity, and activity. Initially, enzymes were understood as static (bio)molecular structures capable ...
Oxidations are an important kind of reactions which are traditionally performed using stoichiometric oxidants that generate a large amount of waste. Syn-dihydroxylation of alkenes is a paradigmatic ...
Enzymes are molecules that play a crucial role in many biological and chemical processes. To understand how they work and how to design enzymes with specific functions, it is important to study their ...
In this thesis we developed a protocol for the intramolecular oxidation of prochiral secondary C-H bonds in which carboxylic acids, acting as directing groups for the oxidant species, promoted a highly ...
In the last decades, electronic structure methods have been crucial for chemists to achieve deeper insight into chemistry itself and to make predictions before performing the actual experiments. The ...
This thesis studies the behavior of different metallacarboranes such as Na[Co(C2B9H11)2] Na[1] and their chlorinated derivatives, Na[3,3’-Co(8-Cl-1,2-C2B9H10)2] Na[Cl2-1] i Na[3,3’-Co(8,9,12-Cl3-1,2-C2B9H8)2] ...
Given the existing problem of Climate Change, we must work towards more environmentally friendly chemical processes that would help us solve it. The thesis focuses on the study of different chemical ...
Since the discovery of fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), these spheroidal carbon cages have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their exceptional electronic and ...
Enzymes are a type of proteins that help chemical reactions happen faster in living organisms. Scientists have been able to modify these enzymes using a technique called protein engineering, which allowed ...
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 ...
