Congratulations to Vinicius Port for the new MSc scholarship award from FAPESP! Vinicius joined our group recently and is being very enthusiastic in the many topics of physical organic chemistry. We wish all the best for him and we are looking forward for the new results in the many research projects that Vinicius is currently…

Lucas paper about JFC coupling constants and preferential isomerism in fluorophenol and fluorothiophenol has just been accepted for publication in the Journal of Phyisical Chemistry A. It is already available in the web, check it out! https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jpca.9b07970
Our group went to Warsaw (Poland) on August to participate at the 19th European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry ( https://f2019.uw.edu.pl/index.php) and the PhD students Luís and Lucas and prof. Rodrigo contributed with three different oral talks about our experimental and theoretical calculations on helical fluorinated alkanes and fluorothiols. We would like to thank Wojciech Grochala…
Marco did his first presentation of his undergraduate work about the origins of the internal rotation on peroxides at the 42th Anual Reunion of the Brazilian Chemical Society (http://www.sbq.org.br/42ra/) in Joinville/SC – Brazil. Congratulations and keep on the good work!
The ESFC is a triennial academic conference on Fluorine chemistry founded in 1965. The conference is held in Europe, but traditionally it brings together the fluorine community from all over the world. The scientific programme of the Symposium covers all the areas of fluorine chemistry relevant to fundamental and applied research. The 19th ESFC will…
FAPESP has recently approved Bruno’s undergraduate research scholarship. In his work, Bruno will be investigating the behavior of a curious class of compounds called hypofluorites. In our daily lives, we commonly come across a “cousin” of Bruno’s research interest: hypochlorites. Even though they are indeed similar, hypofluorites are far more unstable and have an intriguing…
We have just published a paper about the Ishikawa’s reagent, a fluorination reagent. The work was done in collaboration with prof. Matheus P. Freitas and Laize A. F. Andrade from the Federal University of Lavras. This compound has diastereotopic H and F atoms, which were used to understand the conformational preferences of this molecule experimentally by…
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Julia and Bruno, who are joining Cormanich’s Group this year! Julia is our first master’s student and Bruno is the second undergraduate student in group. Julia is going to work on fluorinated crown-ethers, while Bruno will study organic hypofluorides. You can find more details about them in…
Our research group, located at the I-224 laboratory from the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), is now receiving applications for undergrad, Master’s (MS) and PhD students, who can be awarded with scholarships from FAEPEX (undergrad and MS) and FAPESP (undergrad, MS and PhD). Appliers should send an e-mail to cormanich@unicamp.br and also to…
Last week FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation) approved Marco’s Undergraduate Reasearch scholarship. In this project, Marco is going to investigate the physical-chemical properties of various peroxides and disulfides. His investigations will be performed experimentally employing NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry) and IR (Infrared Spectroscopy), and theoretically using ab initio and DFT calculations. Some disulfides and…
