• Rings, Hexagons, Petals, and Dipolar Moment Sink-Sources: The Fanciful Behavior of Water around Cyclodextrin Complexes 

  Fernández Garrido, Pablo; Calvelo Souto, Martín; García Fandiño, Rebeca; Piñeiro Guillén, Ángel (MDPI, 2020)

  The basket-like geometry of cyclodextrins (CDs), with a cavity able to host hydrophobic groups, makes these molecules well suited for a large number of fundamental and industrial applications. Most of the established ...

• Some Guidelines for the Synthesis and Melting Characterization of Azide Poly(ethylene glycol) Derivatives 

  González Fernández, Daniel; Torneiro Abuín, Mercedes; Lazzari, Massimo (MDPI, 2020)

  We provide fundamental guidelines in the form of a tutorial to be taken into account for the preparation and characterization of a specific class of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives, namely azide-terminated PEGs. ...

• [C^N]‐Alkenyl Gold(III) Complexes by Proximal Ring‐Opening of (2‐Pyridyl)alkylidenecyclopropanes: Mechanistic Insights 

  González, Jorge A.; Verdugo Leal, Felipe Ignacio; Mascareñas Cid, José Luis; López García, Fernando; Nevado, Cristina (Wiley, 2020)

  Pyridine‐substituted alkylidenecyclopropanes (Py‐ACPs) react with gold(III) salts under mild reaction conditions through an unprecedented, proximal ring‐opening pathway, to generate highly appealing, catalytically active ...

• Catalytic addition of C–H bonds across C–C unsaturated systems promoted by iridium(i) and its group IX congeners 

  Fernández Fernández, David; Mascareñas Cid, José Luis; López García, Fernando (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)

  Transition metal-catalyzed hydrocarbonations of unsaturated substrates have emerged as powerful synthetic tools for increasing molecular complexity in an atom-economical manner. Although this field was traditionally dominated ...

• Remote Activation of Hollow Nanoreactors for Heterogeneous Photocatalysis in Biorelevant Media 

  Sousa Castillo, Ana; Rodríguez Couceiro, José; Tomás Gamasa, María; Mariño López, Andrea; López García, Fernando; Baaziz, Walid; Ersen, Ovidiu; Comesaña Hermo, Miguel; Mascareñas Cid, José Luis; Correa Duarte, Miguel Ángel (American Chemical Society, 2020)

  Major current challenges in nano-biotechnology and nano-biomedicine include the implementation of predesigned chemical reactions in biological environments. In this context, heterogeneous catalysis is emerging as a promising ...
