Aran Insausti and Emilio J. Cocinero have visited Pierre Carçabal at the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d’Orsay (ISMO) in order to cooperate with the PIC project. In the picture bellow Emilio, Pierre and Aran (from left to right).

Emilio J. Cocinero will give a talk called “Unravelling bio-structures by high resolution spectroscopies and applications” at the University of Valladolid (UVA) on Friday (October 11). Emilio Cocinero will present several studies on biomolecules (carbohydrates and glycopeptides) and several applications, exploiting an experimental strategy which combines microwave and laser spectroscopies …

Bond length alternation is a chemical phenomenon in benzene rings fused to other rings, which has been mainly predicted theoretically. Its physical origin is still not clear and has generated discussion. Here, by using a strategy that combines microwave spectroscopy, custom‐made synthesis and high‐level ab initio calculations, we demonstrate that …

Pierre Çarçabal, from Université Paris Sud, visited the Spectroscopy Group for a week. It was a pleasure!

  Emilio J. Cocinero and Aran Insausti gave a talk at the XXXVII Biennial Meeting of the RSEQ that took place in Donostia.

Understanding the conformational preferences of carbohydrates is crucial to explain the interactions with their biological targets and to improve their use as therapeutic agents. We present experimental data resolving the conformational landscape of the monosaccharide d-lyxose, for which quantum mechanical (QM) calculations offer model-dependent results. This study compares the structural …

Four different hetero-clusters between difluoromethane and water have been observed thanks to the combination of high resolution and sensitivity of modern microwave spectroscopy and accurate screening protocols based on quantum mechanical calculations. The article has been accepted by Angewandte Chemie Journal

Emilio J. Cocinero gave some talks at the University of Newcastle (plenary-talk) and Bologna.

Emilio J. Cocinero and Aran Insausti gave very interesting talks at CIC bioGUNE because of the 2nd Glycobasque Meeting. In the pictures bellow Emilio (up) and Aran (down) at the conference:

CIC bioGUNE celebrated the second Glycobasque meeting on March 22nd with a successful participation. In the picture bellow, all the participants at the congress:

The correct identification of all gases released during hybrid perovskite degradation is of great significance to develop strategies to extend the lifespan of any device based on this semiconductor. CH3X (X = Br/I) is a released degradation gas/low boiling point liquid arising from methylammonium (MA+) based perovskites, which has been …

Ben Davis, Pierre Çarçabal and Francisco Corzana visit the University of the Basque Country where they had an interesting meeting with the group leader Emilio J. Cocinero. After that, we could enjoy the amazing talk given by Professor Davis. In the picture bellow, from left to right, Ben Davis, Pierre …

Emilio J. Cocinero attend the meeting about the creation of “Red Leonardo”, initiative driven by the BBVA foundation. In the picture bellow, Dr. Marek Grzelczak, Dr. Guillermo Mínguez Espallargas, Martín Fañanás Mastral, Emilio J. Cocinero (from left to right).
