Scientists from the Lloret-Fillol group at ICIQ present a new approach for the cyclization of unactivated alkyl chlorides with tethered alkenes. By combining the catalytic power of a visible-light photoredox catalyst with a coordination Ni complex, the scientists have been able to in situ activate otherwise challenging bonds. Miguel Claros, first author of the paper, […]

Professor Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba passed away yesterday, May10th. We join his family and friends in their loss. Rubalcaba studied Chemical Sciences at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and obtained his doctorate in 1978 with a work on Grignard reagents. After several postdoctoral stays in European universities, he joined the UCM as Professor of Organic […]

The production of 1-butene via ethylene dimerization is one of the few industrial processes that employs homogeneous catalysis due to their high selectivity—despite the massive amounts of activators and solvents required. Now, a new paper by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), in collaboration with the López group at the Institute of Chemical Research […]

Scientists around the globe are generating looming amounts of data. This data (aka Big Data) cannot be analysed using traditional tools thus creating a problematic shared by most of the sciences. Realizing the need to have tools able to manage computational chemistry Big Data, ICIQ and Universitat Rovira I Virgili (URV) scientists created ioChem-BD in […]
