The use of light to trigger and control radical polymerisation is a powerful strategy for rational polymer synthesis and advanced materials. Photoinitiated polymerisation is today widely used in industry for several applications. Essential for the continued progress of the field is the discoveries of novel photoinitiators endowed with tailored properties, such as high activity at […]
Late-stage catalytic carboxylation techniques wiht labelled carbon dioxide: new opportunities for radiolabelling
Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion´s studies (ADME) are essential for drug discovery and development, providing invaluable preclinical data to understand how the drug behaves in living organisms, thus allowing to make a decision on whether the drug should be terminated or advanced to the next step. At present, most of these studies are performed with […]
A new platform technology for the on-demand access to large acenes
The aim of PLAT_ACE is to study the technical and commercial viability of this novel synthetic methodology and its industrial implementation for the generation of nonacene and other larger acenes supported onto surfaces for use in semi-conducting devices with unprecendeted electronic properties and low bandgap. Our technology will be benchmarked against current industrial methodologies to […]
