Biography

Nuria Rendón Márquez was born in Seville in 1978. She studied Chemistry at the University of Seville from 1996 to 2001, and earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2005 with a thesis on the reactivity of TpMe₂Ir complexes toward alkynes, conducted at the Instituto de Investigaciones Químicas (CSIC–University of Seville) under the supervision of M. Paneque and M. L. Poveda. She then moved to the Laboratoire de Chimie Organométallique de Surface (CNRS, CPE Lyon, Villeurbanne, France) for a postdoctoral stay with Dr. Christophe Copéret from 2006 to 2008. In January 2009, she returned to the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Seville as a Ramón y Cajal fellow. She was appointed Associate Professor in 2015 and has been Professor in the same department since 2017.

Research interests

Her research interests focus on the synthesis of metal complexes, both noble metals and first-row transition metals, with pincer ligands, and their study in the activation of H₂, C–H bonds, and unsaturated molecules. These systems are explored for their catalytic applications in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes relevant to hydrogen storage. Additionally, her interests extend to catalyst immobilization and the formation of metal nanoparticles with diverse catalytic applications.
