ioChem-BD is a platform created by researchers at ICIQ and URV. This innovative tool aims to parse, easily organise and publish the results of computational chemistry research projects. Moreover, because ioChem-BD is an open-access initiative, it allows researchers to further analyse data published by their peers, or start new studies  based on previously existing work. […]

Shoulei Wang, PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Miquel À. Pericàs (ICIQ), has defended his PhD Thesis entitled “Approaches to Asymmetric Catalysis Mediated by Polymer-Supported and Homogeneous Organocatalysts” (assigned to the Analytical & Organic Chemistry Department of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) publicly in March the 15th at the ICIQ Auditorium. The members of […]

The Severo Ochoa Centres and Maria de Maeztu Units Alliance (SOMMa) gathers research centres and units that received the Spanish Severo Ochoa and María de Maeztu excellence awards respectively. Thanks to the support of the Spanish State Secretariat for Research, Development and Innovation, these centres and units have joined efforts to promote, strengthen and maximise […]

New highly active Mn(I) complex for the selective electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to CO with excellent TOF values. Imagine transforming carbon dioxide in a sustainable feedstock for the production of value added chemicals. This could be possible thanks to efficient catalysts that could reduce CO2 using renewable energy. Some homogeneous catalysts based on earth […]
