She is a member of the Molecular Materials Group since 2012, and her line of research is focused in the synthesis and characterization of M3S4 and M3M'S4 clusters (M= Mo, W and M'= transition metal) functionalized with nitrogen donor ligands. Later, the reactivity of the new clusters is studied and also their catalytic activity in industrial processes of interest.

She is the author of an article published in the journal of catalysis ChemCatChem during the year 2015, and she has presented her results in both national and international conferences. She has participated in different research projects of Spanish Ministry, Valencian Community and University Jaume I. She did a temporary stay during two months in the "Leibniz-Institüt für Katalyse" in Rostock (Germany), under the supervision of Professor Matthias Beller.

Her teaching career will start during the academic year 2015-2016 with the course Physical Chemistry IV in the Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry, which consist of an introduction to the basic principles of spectroscopy

Abstract

Secondary amines are selectively obtained from low value starting materials using hydrogen and a non-noble metal-based catalyst. The reductive amination of aldehydes from nitroarenes or nitroalkanes is efficiently catalyzed by a well-defined diamino molybdenum sulfide cluster in a one-pot homogeneous reaction. The integrity of the molecular cluster catalyst is preserved along the process.

Abstract

Furilydenepropanenitrile derivatives, which are useful as monomers, have been obtained in high yields by coupling the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and the Knoevenagel condensation of DFF with methylene active compounds in a one pot process.

The oxidation step was studied using an Fe containing metal–organic framework (MIL-100(Fe), and Fe(BTC)), a Cu containing MOF (Cu3(BTC)2), an Fe exchanged HY zeolite and homogeneous Fe salts in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxide (TEMPO) as a cocatalyst, NaNO2 as an additive and oxygen as the terminal oxidant.

The results showed that the synthesized MIL-100(Fe) post treated with NH4F was the most active catalyst achieving 100% HMF conversion with 100% selectivity to DFF and can be reused with good success.

Additionally, the catalytic system has been applied to the oxidation of different primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones under mild reaction conditions with good success.

The second step, the Knoevenagel condensation of the obtained DFF with malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate, was performed taking advantage of the basicity of the reaction medium.

Abstract

Herein, copper iodide nanoparticles (NPs) are reported for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds for the first time. The generated NPs were characterized by TEM, EDX, XRD and XPS analyses. The XRD patterns, XPS, and EDX analysis confirmed that the resulting NPs were CuI instead of Cu. The TEM images of CuI exhibited the size of monodispersed spherical NPs in the range of 4 ± 2 nm. These generated NPs can be used as versatile heterogeneous catalysts for important organic transformations. As a proof of concept, CuI NPs were successfully applied as heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of secondary amines, amides and triazoles. CuI NPs can be easily recovered and recycled up to six times.
