The journal ʻChemical Scienceʼ highlights a UB-led study
The January issue of the journal Chemical Science, one of the most prestigious in the field of chemistry, edited by the Royal Society of Chemistry of the United Kingdom, highlights a study led by Guillem Aromí, researcher in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the University of Barcelona. The study describes unusual coordination features including a very rare bridging pyridine ligand or two trapped carbonate anions within one coordination cage, forced to stay at an extremely close distance. Results suggest a possibility for catalytic CO2 capture from the atmosphere to form reactive compounds, useful for chemical synthesis.
