Instituto de Química de la UNAM: catalizando la química con paso firme

Abstract

The Institute of Chemistry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Spanish acronym: IQ-UNAM), at his 75^th anniversary is known around the world as an important and solid institution. Catalysis is outlined as a very strong research field because of their importance in every area of applied chemistry. The development and understanding of several catalytic systems are encouraged among several researchers. iq is fully equipped with cutting edge technology suitable for basic and applied research in catalysis and related fields. This capability and the strong presence in several graduate programs have an impact in the number of high quality publications, strong collaboration with industry, development of chemistry and high quality of human resources. A strong group of researchers explores and develop transition metal mediated process, design of chiral ligands and organocatalysis. The strong relations with other institutions worldwide makes the iq the tip of the sword to achieve new discoveries in catalysis and one of the best places in the world to make chemistry.
