News

  1. We welcome Mingming Huang as a new postdoctoral researcher in our team!!

  2. A long story comes to an excellent end. Our method to switch selectivity in the borylative allyl-allyl cross-coupling via synergistic Cu/Pd catalysis has been published in JACS. A great collaborative effort comprising experimental work Nuria Vázquez-Galiñanes, Balázs L. Tóth and Martín Piñeiro-Suárez, and DFT calculations by Giuseppe Sciortino and Feliu Maseras (ICIQ). Congratulations to all!
