The award-winning research has received this nomination in recognition of the quality of its work, directed by professors Conchita Gimeno and Raquel P. Herrera.
The work developed by researchers from the Institute of Chemical Synthesis and Homogeneous Catalysis (ISQCH) around a new gold catalyst with the desired stability and recyclability, has achieved the 'Hot Paper' mention by the prestigious magazine 'Chemistry, A European Journal' .
This recognition values the work developed by researchers from the ISQCH of the University of Zaragoza and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), led by professors Conchita Gimeno and Raquel P. Herrera.
Catalysis is the process by which the speed of a chemical reaction is increased due to the participation of the catalyst, and thanks to this new process, it has been possible to achieve gold catalysts with the desired stability and recyclability properties, without stopping. This requires the addition of additives, as is usual for this type of complexes.
The fact of not needing the use of these additives allows its price to be reduced and its recycling facilitated, according to sources from the University of Zaragoza.
These properties of the catalysts have been used to deepen the knowledge of the gold-catalyzed alkyne hydroalkoxylation reaction, with the aim of understanding all the steps of the catalytic cycle that this process goes through, along with the characterization of the intermediates and of the final products.
Within the field of catalysis, this research has achieved, for the first time, the isolation and characterization of the intermediates of the aforementioned hydroalkoxylation reaction.
The award-winning research shows the work carried out by the Gold and Silver Chemistry research group, led by Professor Conchita Gimeno, in collaboration with the Asymmetric Organocatalysis (HOCA) group, led by Dr. Raquel P. Herrera.
Given its importance and impact in the world of chemistry, this work has received the 'Hot Paper' nomination, which recognizes the quality of its research, having obtained a score higher than 20% of those published in the prestigious magazine.
