Stereochemistry, Bonding and Reactivity of Transition Metal Compounds
Researchers Prof. Santiago Alvarez, Dr. Gabriel Aullón Our research on stereochemistry, bonding and reactivity deals mostly with transition metals, dealing with the geometric factors that affect multiple metal-metal bond strength, or delocalized bonding in M2X2 diamonds, M3X2 and M2X3cages. The study of

Researchers Prof. Santiago Alvarez, Prof. Pere Alemany, Prof. Miquel Llunell Continuous symmetry measures (CSM), continuous chirality measures (CCM) and continuous shape measures (CShM) provide simple and accurate stereochemical descriptors for molecular structures. Derived tools, such as shape maps, minimal distortion

Researchers Prof. Eliseo Ruiz Some polynuclear transition metal complexes, known as single molecule magnets (SMM), show a slow relaxation of the magnetization and, as a result, each individual molecule behaves as a magnet. Hence, SMM’s have been proposed either as
