Welcome
Welcome
In our research group at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, we combine the structurally-driven development of porous crystalline nanomaterials of chemical complexity with the use of advanced synchrotron X-ray techniques to come up with a more realistic structural understanding of catalytic and adsorption processes on porous materials. We love Metal-Organic Frameworks!
Recently, thanks to regional funding from Comunity of Madrid (TALENT grant) we have started a new research group at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry. Our focus is to apply advanced synchrotron characterization techniques to follow molecules, chemistry, and catalysis in action.
In particular, we apply Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analyses to go beyond traditional crystallographic approaches and study complex porous materials directly in real-space, under conditions relevants for their ultimate use.
