Sustainable Organic Photochemistry

Sustainable Organic Photohemistry Group

The group is interested in developing sustainable organic processes by means of photochemistry; examples include the activation of small molecules such as carbon dioxide, or the transformation of abundant feedstocks for their conversion into high added value products. We pursue a design of the photocatalytic processes based on a mechanistic comprehension of the organic photochemical reactivity. Specific research topics include: 

1) Carbon dioxide capture, reduction and fixation.

2) Photooxidations of industrial interest.

3) Rational development of novel organic photocatalysts.

4) Development of super-redox reactivity by combination of photochemistry and electrochemistry.

5) Hydrogen atom transfer and proton-coupled electron transfer
