Coordination compounds are chemical complexes containing a central atom and other atoms or molecules that surround it. Josefina Pons' research team has synthesised and analysed the crystalline structure of complexes where...
Researchers from the UAB in collaboration with researchers from the Institut Catalá de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2), coordinated by UAB researcher Fernando Novio, have published an extensive review focus on the use of coordination...
Many times the contrast level of Magnetic resonance images (MRI) is not enough for unequivocal diagnosis and, for this reason, the so-called contrast agents (CAs) are used. Rosa Ortuño, researcher at the Department of Chemistry, explains how the...
RAWMINA H2020 project has been launched, an Integrated Innovative Pilot System For Critical Raw Materials Recovery From Mines Wastes In A Circular Economy Context. It is driven by 19 partners, with the participation of researchers from the Department of Chemistry of the...
The physicochemical properties of molecules are determined by a series of external factors such as temperature, or intrinsic to the element that makes them up, such as their atomic number. The final result of the conjugation of all of them is the conformation of...
One of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030 is to ensure a healthy life of the population. To do so, improving air quality is one of the great challenges to be met. In this article, Francesc Teixidor and Clara Viñas, from...
4,4'-bpy is one of the ligands that, together with the carboxylate type, allows to obtain coordination polymers. The present work focuses on the influence of these two ligands to determine the structure of zinc compounds and designed polymers. The complexity of...
Researchers from the UAB and the University of Santiago de Chile (Chile) have developed a series of porous films with a honeycomb structure in which it is possible to control the hydrophilic properties, the microstructure of the pores and the whole...
The present work, framed in the coordination chemistry, exposes the obtaining of 4 compounds of zinc (II) and cadmium (II). They have been extracted from two reactions and thanks to the benzoic acid that coordinates each acting like carboxylated ligand....
Four coordination compounds -one monomer and three polymers (CPs)- with different structures, numbers of coordination and dimensionalities are obtained in the following article. They are the...
