@ud9263150 @ACSPublications @quicap_lab @FCTQ_uclm @UCLMdivulga @geqo_rseq @AEBIN5 Thanks!

[Mario @mariosalises]

🗞️💡 Also, don't miss our last paper published on @ACSPublications! We're super proud of sharing this work. At @quicap_lab we love photoactivating everything that comes right out of the Schlenk, but there is more to it when that is not possible! (1/3)

We are delighted to announce that yesterday, @Carlos_GN1 successfully defended his PhD thesis, focused on the development of Ir(III) complexes for photochemotherpy and photocatalysis.
Congratulations Dr. Gonzalo-Navarro!!! 🎓

I'm delighted to share our latest publication (and the first one as corresponding author!!) in ACS Organic & Inorganic Au about new anticancer Cp*Ir(III) complexes. Congrats to @mariosalises @quicap_lab

We're extremely Happy to share our last contribution in ACS Organic & Inorganic Au. Big congrats to @mariosalises for his first article! Substituent-Controlled Double Orthometalation and Anticancer Activity in Half-Sandwich Ir(III) Complexes https://t.co/LdpV0tUecU..

[QuiCAp_Lab @quicap_lab]

Today, at the @geqo_rseq in Logroño, Gema Durá has delivered an invited lecture entitled “Ligand π-Extension as a Design Principle in Photoactive Cyclometalated Iridium Chemistry.” We are proud to have been part of this inspiring event. @GEQOLogrono26 @FCTQ_uclm @IRICA_uclm

[JESÚS J @jesus696hp]

Comparto un trocito de mi primera experiencia como estudiante de doctorado, una etapa que ya me ha llevado a vivir y disfrutar de mi primer congreso científico @GEQOLogrono26. ¡Experiencia inolvidable!

Seguimos sumando y trabajando en el laboratorio @quicap_lab de la @uclm_es

[QuiCAp_Lab @quicap_lab]

🎤 It's been a busy day for @quicap_lab at @GEQOLogrono26! Here are some pictures of the flash talk of @mariosalises and the two poster presentations of @jesus696hp and @Carlos_GN1.

[Mario @mariosalises]

At the same time it comes in a very touching moment, right before @Carlos_GN1 thesis defense! It's been great working side by side with you these years. I have learnt LOADS after all those hours both in the lab and in the office. You'll do great next Monday, as per usual! (3/3)

[Mario @mariosalises]

I believe we did a great job at exploring alternative anticancer mechanisms, introducing cool protein-docking computational calculations to support experimental results and demonstrating how ligand functionalization allows to fine-tune the behaviour of these Ir complexes (2/3)

[Mario @mariosalises]

We're back home after some days of intense and great chemistry at @GEQOLogrono26. It's been great sharing and discussing a part of our work with the organometallic community. It's amazing to see the inspiring ideas everybody is working on!

[QuiCAp_Lab @quicap_lab]

Our latest work is now available online in @InorgChem 🎉
'NIR-emitting Cp*Ir(III) complexes: impact of ligand π-extension on aggregation behavior and photophysical properties.' Great collaboration with @JMLdeLuzuriaga, @_miguelmonge, @Marodrc, @VickyGmAl

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“My parents could barely read or write. It’s been quite a journey, science allows you to do it.”

New laureate Omar Yaghi was in the middle of changing flights when we reached him, just after he heard that he had been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry.

In this interview we speak about his early life as a refugee in Jordan and the overwhelming draw of the beauty of chemistry: “I set out to build beautiful things and solve intellectual problems.”

[Carlos @Carlos_GN1]

I'm thrilled about the latest publication from my PhD. Thank you to all the collaborators for their hard work! Encapsulated biscyclometalated Ir(III) complexes with anticancer PDT activity - now published in @InorgChemFront

[QuiCAp_Lab @quicap_lab]

Check out our last contribution in @InorgChemFront in collaboration with @TatUdg and João Lima. New encapsulated bis-cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes with very potent anticancer PDT activity 🧪💡

[Mario @mariosalises]

Yesterday I was blessed to receive the first prize from @RSEQ_ST_CLM in the "Divulga tu TFG" category — a recognition for sharing the results of my undergraduate thesis to the broad public. So honored! 😄

[BioCiudadReal @BioCiudadReal25]

To conclude the congress, we would like to thank all the congress attendants. It has been a great experience for everyone and see you in two years in Zaragoza!! @AEBIN5 @FCTQ_uclm @uclm_es #BioCiudadReal

[Mario @mariosalises]

It's been two days since the end of #BioCiudadReal and I'm so glad of having taken part as a member of the Organising Committee 😁🤞

I've learnt a lot and it has been a pleasure meeting people from all over the field! Already looking ahead for BioZaragoza!

[BioCiudadReal @BioCiudadReal25]

Now, we are pleased to announce the second awarded, Carlos Gonzalo-Navarro in the PhD student modality with the presentation “Ir(III) half-sandwich photosensitizers with a π-expansive ligand for efficient anticancer photodynamic therapy” @AEBIN5 @FCTQ_uclm @uclm_es #BioCiudadReal

[BioCiudadReal @BioCiudadReal25]

We are excited to share our group picture!!! @AEBIN5 @FCTQ_uclm @uclm_es #BioCiudadReal
