MOLCat thematic line stands at the forefront of advancements in molecular chemistry through the rational synthesis of the next generation of active molecules and the development of new catalytic and molecular analytic approaches.

MOLCat thematic line focuses on pioneering strategies and advanced chemical processes supported by molecular mechanisms and modelling techniques. These tools guide and optimize the experimental procedures, including design and synthesis, structure, characteristics, reactivity, and detection. MOLCat thematic line’s scope includes the synthesis and study of bio-inspired molecules in a variety of applicable disciplines such as catalysis, sensing, environmental applications, and biomedicine. The selective choice of targets is directly linked to their structure-function relationship.
