Pericàs

Research group

FULL REPORT

RESEARCH ABSTRACT

Over the last years, the Pericàs laboratory at ICIQ has been engaged in a broad research program aimed at developing a complete toolkit  of polymer-supported and (to a lesser extent) magnetic nanoparticle-immobilized catalysts, with optimized characteristics of catalytic activity, high induced stereoselectivity and extended life cycle.

The ultimate goal of this research has been the development of single-pass, catalytic and enantioselective flow versions of the most relevant processes for organic synthesis, contributing in this manner to a more sustainable practice of chemical synthesis. Our laboratory at ICIQ has been pioneer in this effort, being recognized as one of the leaders in the field.

Topics addressed

  • Supported catalysts and flow processes
  • Development of smart catalytic systems
  • Superparamagnetic nanoparticles
