🚀New paper out!
Excited to share our work on the direct decarboxylative borylation just published in @J_A_C_S
doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c13635
We’ve developed an Fe LMCT photocatalytic strategy for the direct decarboxylative borylation of nonactivated carboxylic acids…
The method enables the one-step conversion of native aliphatic & aromatic carboxylic acids into versatile organoboron compounds without preactivation.
Congrats to Paula, Quentin & Sarah for an outstanding collaborative effort. Thanks to #eLeMCiTy @AgEInves @FundacionSeneca @UMU
Thanks to @MarkLautens for highlighting our recent work on the chloro- and bromodifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes with Fe photocatalysis in #synfacts @thiemechemistry
Synfacts 👉 thieme-connect.de/products/e…
Original paper @JOC_OL 👉pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Many thanks to @MiquelCostas Elena Fernandez & @GEMCrisenza for being part of the committee.
Wishing Sara every success in the next chapter ahead!
PhD Position available in our group.
We are looking for candidates for an open PhD position to join our group @UMU to work on Earth-abundant metal photo(electro)catalysis and organic synthesis 💡⚡️🧪 Deadline 30 May. RTs appreciated. More info 👇
🚀 New paper out!
We’re happy to share our latest work on (hetero)arene C–H chloro- and bromodifluoromethylation enabled by Fe photodecarboxylation catalysis 🔆 just published in Organic Letters @JOC_OL pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
The method features broad scope and delivers fluorinated intermediates primed for downstream diversification 💊. Leveraging this reactivity, we developed a streamlined C–H fluoroacylation protocol...
Congrats to Sara and Paula for an outstanding collaborative effort. Thanks to the funding agencies #eLeMCiTy #TRIPLE-F @AgEInves @FundacionSeneca @UMU
New paper out! We're happy to introduce a photoelectrocatalytic strategy for the trifluoromethylation of (hetero)cyclic scaffolds using readily available trifluoroacetates and Fe catalysts, powered by light + electricity. Just published in @NatureComms doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-6… ...
... mechanistic studies reveal a dual role of Fe: LMCT photodecarboxylation + catalytic redox turnover. Mild, scalable and suited for late-stage functionalization 💡+⚡️. This project was possible thanks to the tremendous work of @sargarx and...
... through a great collaborative effort with our colleagues @sara_cuahuetes @IreBosque @JCGGUA @UA_Universidad.

El alumnado de 2º de Bachillerato de Química visitó el Grupo de Investigación Juliá en la UMU 🧪, conociendo de cerca proyectos innovadores como la sustitución del paladio por hierro en medicamentos 💊⚙️. Ciencia real que inspira futuros científicos 🚀✨
#OUTREACH! Esta semana nos han visitado alumnos de bachillerato de @IESMdCervantes y IES Rector Sabater. Les mostramos como podemos sintetizar moléculas utilizando luz visible y conocieron de primera mano nuestros labs @AgEInves #TripleF #eLeMCiTy

Had a fantastic time @UAHes discussing the chemistry we do @FjhGroup with colleagues @IQAR_UAH. Nice vibes! Thanks for the invite!
Wonderful talk from @FranciscoJH84 about 𝘐𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩-𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘴: 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘖𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴, in our doctoral program seminars. Outstanding chemistry, thanks for visiting us! @UAHes @IQAR_UAH
... and Paula who has started her PhD after obtaining her MSc. She's working on the design of novel photoinduced fluoroalkylation reactions, supported by @FundacionSeneca
