Álvarez: Wed\, Apr 17\, 2024\n\nThe Chemistry & Biochemistry Colloquium guest speaker for April 17t h will be Professor Celedonio M. Álvarez: "An Interesting Journey through t he Supramolecular Interactions of Non-Planar Polyaromatic Compounds". Dr. Á lvarez is Profesor Titular\, Química Inorgánica at the Universidad de Valla dolid\, Spain. \n\n \n\nSince its establishment\, supramolecular chemistry has been used to design and develop new entities with a wide range of appli cations in various areas of science. The rational design and development of functional complex architectures capable of interacting with nanometer-siz ed carbon allotropes\, especially fullerenes\, in a supramolecular fashion is a challenging current topic. However\, the architecture design of effici ent systems of this type is not always straightforward since it depends on a delicate balance of favorable and unfavorable interactions and requires a n understanding of the different subtle factors at play. In this talk\, a f ascinating journey carried out in our laboratory will be presented using ou r results in the last few years as guidance. It will take into account the number of motives that take part in the supramolecular interaction focusing on the non-planar polyaromatic compound corannulene and the environmental properties that allow structural changes that impact significatively on the strength of the interaction. This will cover a wide range of central struc ture cores bearing different numbers of corannulenes ranging from organomet allic centers to porphyrin tethers.
