You will be updated with latest job alerts via emailThe Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Suero research group. This position will be funded by the European Research Council ERC project CARBYNE (865554).
ICIQ is one of the worlds internationally recognized leading institutions in the field of chemistry committed to solving major social and economic challenges by conducting top quality research in three main areas: Sustainable Catalysis Renewable Energy and Health. The institute also aims at training the future generation of scientists by offering highquality educational programs to master PhD students and postdoctoral researchers (full details on ).
Description of the project: The art of organic synthesis and reaction discovery relies on logicguided thought processes that often involve hypovalent carbon reactive species and their corresponding stabilized equivalent forms. However not all of the possible carbon reactive intermediates and their reactivity rules have attracted the same attention by the synthetic community. This is mainly because of the perception of the lack of synthetic utility and importantly because of the challenges associated with controlling its extreme reactivity and lack of efficient sources. The main goal of this project is to develop new chemical reactions based on equivalents of carbyne species the monovalent carbon species and their use in the (enantioselective) synthesis and latestage functionalization of complex molecules.
