Marta E. G. Mosquera, PhD, FRSC, graduated in Chemistry from Oviedo University, where she carried out her doctorate on Ru(II) complexes. After her PhD, she moved to Cambridge University to join Prof. D. S. Wright group where she worked on main group chemistry. After a brief stay in the University of Oviedo as an Assistant Professor, where she worked on diphosphine carbenes, in 2003 she moved to Alcalá University as Associate Professor. In 2020 she was promoted to Full Professor within the Madrid Program for Excellence. Her current fields of research are Organometallic, Coordination and Structural Chemistry, her efforts being oriented towards three different areas:
1. Homo and heterometallic main group compounds active in catalytic polymerization processes and in the generation of new C-C bonds. Aiming in particular to develop catalysts for the generation of bioplastics and valorization of CO2.
2. Design and synthesis of new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with transition or main group metals with multifunctionalized ligands.
3. Study of systems with non-covalent interactions such as Halogen Bonding, and the analysis of their influence in the structure and reactivity.
Her work has been reported in more than 112 papers and 90 conferences contributions. She has given invited talks both in Spanish Universities and abroad. She has been in the Scientific and/or Organizing Committee of several National and International conferences.
Well done!
