New paper in Chemical Science

We have just published a new paper in Chemical Science in collaboration with The O’Hagan Lab In this work we explored the conformations and molecular packing of alkyl all-cis 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexyl motifs, which are new fluorinated materials developed by David O’Hagan.

PCCP cover

We have just published a cover in PCCP featuring Vinicius and Lucas experimental and theoretical research on 2-(trifluoromethyl)thiophenol: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2021/cp/d0cp05887d/unauth#!divAbstract The NMR machine is represented as a robot: its mouth is a NMR signal, there are cables connecting it to the console and there is also a representation of the magnetic field around it, among other…

João Paulo’s new paper

João Paulo has published a new paper in the Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics:https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07391102.2021.1911859This is his first paper, which he started as a undergrad student and finished now as a MS candidate in our group. The paper suggests a new candidate to treat malaria, a neglected disease that affect millions in poor coutries around…

Bruno’s paper in PCCP

Congratulations Bruno for your new paper in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics about the influence of Non Classical Hydrogen bonds (NCHBs) in the fluorine pseudo-anomeric effect and also in the classical anomeric effect of oxa-heterocycles. This paper was done in collaboation with David O’Hagan and is already online. Please take a look at the interesting calculations he…

New paper in PCCP

Congratulations to Vinicius and Lucas for their new paper in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. They found out interesting bifurcated CF…HS and CF…SH stabilizing interactions that influence geometry and spin-spin coupling contants in a model compound. Check it in PCCP: DOI: 10.1039/d0cp05887d

New paper in PCCP

Congratulations to Marco Afonso for his publication in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics and the exciting results he got from his research as an undergrad student. Check it in the PCCP asap: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2020/cp/d0cp04688d#!divAbstract

New paper in The Journal of Organic Chemistry

We have just published a new paper in The Journal of Organic Chemistry, which was done in collaboration with the Coelho’s group and prof. Michael Bühl from the Univervisty of St Andrews. This paper shows a robust/simple synthesis of tetrahydroindolizines and rationalizes the observed diastereoselectivity of a heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction by applying state-of-art experimental and…

New paper in the Chem. Eur. J.

Bruno has just published a Chemistry A European Journal paper about the Fluorine induced pseudo-anomeric effect. This paper was done in collaboation with the David O’Hagans group and is a nice joint between experimental and theoretical chemistry to understand a new physical organic chemistry effect. Check it out in the following link https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/chem.202003058?af=R
