Now it is the time for the flash communication session

[Bienal GEQOR-RSEQ 2026 @BienalGEQOR2026]

And to wrap it up, the group photo! It has been an amazing congress. Special thanks to all the participants. We are very happy to see that you enjoyed the conference! 🙏👏 See you in the next Biennial Meeting of @geqor in Salamanca in 2028! ✨️

[Bienal GEQOR-RSEQ 2026 @BienalGEQOR2026]

Ready, set, go! We start the congress with the opening remarks, and are already looking forward to the scientific talks! ✨️

A new paper from our group has just been published in @JOC_OL! 🎉

Continuing our exploration of the nucleophilic activation of CS₂ for the synthesis of sulfur-containing molecules, we now report a new approach to primary thioamides from aldoximes. 🧪

We hope you enjoy it! 📄✨

Last Friday I presented an oral communication at the @MultiChemPhD 🧪
Photochemical generation of boronic intermediates for molecular diversification. Thanks to Carlos Valdés and @Manuel__Plaza for the support and congrats to the organizers for such a great event! @QOSCAT_Oviedo

[Manuel Plaza @Manuel__Plaza]

We had a great time at the @MultiChemPhD in Gijón! Many interesting talks by young researchers and a very enjoyable atmosphere. And to top it all, @illantagarrop won the mention to the best flash presentation of the conference 🥇🎉 Proud of you, Illán! @QOSCAT_Oviedo

Self-driving labs are transforming chemistry; but high cost & complexity limit access to a few well-funded labs.

We wanted to change that.

Our new paper in @NatureSynthesis introduces RoboChem-Flex 🧪🤖

Excited to share our new paper in ACS Org. & Inorg. Au! 🚀 Multicomponent photochemical assembly of C(sp²)–S substituted imidazoles via exciplex formation, enabling light-driven C–S bond construction with mechanistic insight. Thanks to all authors! https://t.co/QFfObSFrIx

[Manuel Plaza @Manuel__Plaza]

Exciplex or EDA complex? 🤔 Check out our latest paper in ACS Org. Inorg. Au with @IreBosque & @isra_group, where we unraveled the mechanism behind the photochemical assembly of S-substituted imidazoles developed by @illantagarrop & @HelenaFPiedra 🙌

📄New Preprint: We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step, photocatalytic conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines.

Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow.

We combine ML + #DigitalTwins to autonomously design photoreactors with high light capture and uniform irradiation. A virtual photoreactor guides #BayesianOptimization, allowing numerous designs in silico and fabrication of the best candidates.
