The group is devoted to the development of new nano- and micro-sized materials, including their preparation methods, with impact in a multitude of areas of the scientific knowledge, particularly in luminescence, catalysis, gas sorption and separation, ion exchange, magnetism, MRI contrast agents, drug delivery.

Research Areas

Microporous Functional Zeo-type and Hybrid Materials

Inorganic and hybrid scaffolds have been a core research topic in this research group, being used in a myriad of applications due to specific properties carefully designed based on basic chemical and physical principles. Some of these research milestones were also closely accompanied by advances in characterisation techniques, in particular solid-state NMR. Specific research topics include:
- Materials akin to zeolites: microporous silicates of transition metals and lanthanides (over 100 novel Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Cu, Sn, Ca, Y, Ce and other Ln silicates, so-called AV and AM materials) processed in the form of powders, membranes and films. These have been explored in applications such as luminescence, catalysis, gas sorption and separation, ion exchange, magnetism and as MRI contrast agents. Outstandingly, one zirconium silicate has found a real commercial application as a drug for the treatment of hyperkalemia.
- Luminescent lanthanide-bearing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers and, in particular, pioneered the field of MOFs nanothermometry.
- Design of heterogeneous catalysts based on mesoporous silicas derivatized with metal complexes, and ordered benzene-silica hybrids with molecular-scale periodicity in the walls and different mesopore sizes.
- Design a photoresponsive crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric materials with a high Curie temperature, paving the way for accomplishing multiple-state ferroelectric memories, optical switches, and various optoelectronic devices.
- Development and application of solid-state NMR techniques for studying (i) quadrupolar (I>1/2) nuclei, encompassing ²H exchange NMR, quadrupole nutation and DOR, multiple-quantum MAS NMR and related techniques (FAM MQ MAS, HETCOR MQ MAS, ST MAS, I-ST MAS), and (ii) ¹H high-resolution CRAMPS techniques (FSLG, PMLG, DUMBO). Recent interests include NMR crystallography and the development of molecules to probe by NMR microporous solids.

Nanomaterials

With decades of experience in the design of nanomaterials, current research is focused on bio)nanocomposites, carbon nanomaterials, silicates, polyoxometalates, transition metal sulfides, among others. We are devoted on the nanoscale aspects of colloidal matter and associated surface chemistry while conducting research to explore vibrational spectroscopic methods and materials processing based on 3D/2D printing techniques. Specific research topics include:
- Synthesis, surface modification and impact of colloidal nanoparticles as multifunctional sorbents for purification and quality monitoring of water.
- Synthesis, surface modification and impact of colloidal nanomaterials as multifunctional vectors for health applications such as drug delivery, clinical diagnosis, therapeutics and theranostics.
- Synthesis, surface modification and impact of colloidal nanomaterials as photocatalysts for removal of water contaminants of emerging concern.
- Developing vibrational spectroscopic and microscopic methods for nanoscale characterization and optical sensors applied to the environment and medical fields.
- Chemical strategies for developing sustainable materials for energy applications, such as the chemical bath deposition of metal oxides for hydrogen production and eco-friendly production of perovskite quantum dots for photovoltaics.

Multifunctional nano-scale molybdenum-based materials

We are experts on molybdenum chemistry, encompassing elements of inorganic synthesis, coordination chemistry, ligand design, and supramolecular chemistry, to produce multifunctional nano-scale materials and compounds, tuning properties through control of composition and structure, with a particular strength in applications such as catalysis and nanomedicine. Specific research topics include:
- Oxomolybdenum complexes as precursors to molybdenum oxide/organic hybrid materials.
- Organomolybdenum carbonyl complexes as catalyst precursors.
- Immobilization of homogeneous catalysts in host structures to produce recyclable supported catalysts.
While catalysis was the starting point, research branched out to include the design of metal carbonyl complexes as prodrugs for carbon monoxide (CO) delivery for therapeutic applications in human medicine (e.g., as antimicrobial agents to fight drug-resistant bacteria). We aim to develop pharmaceutically acceptable CO-releasing materials based on macromolecular (e.g., cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils) and metal-organic nanomaterial scaffolds.
Another area of interest is the encapsulation of organic guest species containing chromophore groups in macrocyclic and layered hosts to produce nanostructured materials with interesting photochemical and photophysical properties. Within this framework we are particularly interested in the synthesis of photoactivatable CO-releasing materials through the immobilization of organic CO-releasing molecules.

Rational design and Study of Gas Adsorbent Materials

The group has one ERC Consolidator Grant that pioneered the study of CO2 adsorption mechanisms in solid porous adsorbents at the atomic scale, focusing on the understanding of host-gas interactions and CO2 speciation in confined spaces. It uses cutting-edge surface-enhanced spectroscopic techniques applied to novel sample preparation methodologies under controlled gas and moisture environments alongside the use of isotopically enriched gases and materials. Specific research interests are:
- Through a multidisciplinary approach it is studied, at the molecular level, CO2 speciation either in physisorbed or chemisorbed CO2 mechanisms in a variety of nanomaterial surfaces.
Our focus is essentially the synthesis and specific functionalization of materials for the capture and conversion of CO2. Although most of our studies focus on silica-based CO2-adsorbents (amine-modified porous silica - AMPS, periodic mesoporous organosilicas - PMOs), the group is also exploring alternative adsorbents such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon nitride materials, cellulose-based and chitin/chitosan-based materials, as well as lithium silicates.
- Solid-State NMR is used in tandem with ab initio molecular modelling strategies to elucidate the structure of acid sites in solid acid catalysts and the interaction of acid sites with molecules of interest. Most studies rely on post-synthetic modified (e.g. steaming, acid leaching) zeolites using multinuclear (mainly 1H, 27Al and 29Si) and multiple quantum (e.g. 1H DQSQ and 27Al MQMAS) ssNMR methods. A complementary approach to unravel acidity behaviour is the use of probe molecules and our work tries to leverage the high atomic-level resolution provided by ssNMR to study the interaction of 31P-bearing probe molecules with zeolites acid sites. - We focus on the application of high-resolution Solid-State NMR, diffraction and computational methods to study crystal packing interactions on pharmaceutics and materials (NMR crystallography), mainly to probe pure APIs, multicomponent systems, and host-guest interactions in drug delivery systems.
- New methods for NMR/DNP experiments are developed, namely through the exploration of additive manufacturing (3D-printing) of NMR probe components, as well as the design of new radicals for DNP (in collaboration with the Univ. of Iceland) and improved sample formulations for MAS-DNP in porous materials.
