This research line develops multidisciplinary research covering the synthesis, structure and molecular recognition processes of organic molecules and biomolecules of biological interest.
Emphasis is placed in the relationships between stereochemical and structural issues, self-assembling properties and supramolecular status of compounds, the relevance of these aspects in biology and the possibility to control them to correct associated pathologies.
The organometallic chemistry studies the synthesis, the structure and the reactivity of molecular compounds of metallic elements that contain at least one direct metal-carbon bond.
The term “metal” usually assumes the broadest meaning, embracing not only the classic metallic elements (alkaline, alkaline-earth and d and f transition elements), but also main group “metalloids”, that is, most elements of the Periodic table with the exception of the lighter members of groups 14 –16, halogens and noble gases.
