📣El #GE3C concede el II Premio Catalina Ruiz Pérez 🏅 a Luis León Alcaide por su tesis: “Beyond Crystallinity in Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks” dirigida por el Dr. Guillermo Mínguez Espallargas y realizada en el @ICMol_UV

🚀New @NatureComms paper out! A solvent-free, one-step route to Fe2+ MOF glasses that enables device integration and studying magnetic properties of molecular-based random networks @ICMol_UV @UV_EG https://t.co/8AuCKYZhB9

Huge congratulations to our group member Thibaut Le Huec! 🎓He brilliantly defended his PhD thesis entitled ‘Epitaxially Grown Heterostructures Based on Metal–Organic Framework Nanoparticles’.👏

At the heart of innovation, science meets technology. #VDS2025 Mónica Giménez-Marqués, leader of the Crystal Engineering Lab (@CEL_group ) at the Institute of Molecular Science (@ICMol_UV – @UV_EG ), shares how molecular materials can transform the future of smart technologies.

🚀New @NatureComms paper out now! “Direct synthesis of an iron MOF antiferromagnetic glass” A solvent-free, one-step route to Fe2+ MOF glasses that enables device integration and studying magnetic properties of molecular-based random networks. https://t.co/wUVPbqiNwk

We also prepared a crystalline heterometallic imidazolate derivative, MUV-25, with Fe and Zn. Upon several structural rearrangements, a molten state is achieved yielding a heterometallic glass. @ChemicalScience @ICMol_UV @GMinguezEsp @luisleonalca @celiacb90 @ThomasDBennett

The first Mn-ZIF glass, ag-MUV-44, was obtained indirectly via solvent-free synthesis and subsequent solid-state transformation. It exhibits a very low melting temperature and a large interval between melting and decomposition. @ChemCommun @ICMol_UV @GMinguezEsp @luisleonalca

Are you curious about how the metal node influences the formation of ZIF glasses? 🤔 Don’t miss our latest studies exploring this question: Mn ZIF glass: 🔗 https://t.co/3GFGr2J5Mg Heterometallic Fe-Zn ZIF glass: 🔗

It was 2019 when I joined @ICMol_UV @UV_EG; 6 years later I only have words of gratitude. THANKS to all the colleages and friends I met during this time, and special and huge THANKS to @CEL_group where I could grow as a scientist. See you soon!! Next challenge is coming! #GRACIAS

🎥 Today we celebrate 25 years of ICMol. Imagine doing all this in just one day… ✨ Now think of what we've built over 25 years… #ICMol25Years #MolecularScience

Going back home after the amazing #BBpore2025 organized in Valencia by @CEL_group and @Carraro_Fra that btw gave an additional turbo talk on #HOFs to the series of exciting presentations!

Thanks to all the people that made this possible and for the deeply valuable talks that'll foster future collaborations. See you next at the II Conference on Biotechnological and Biomedical Applications of Porous Materials #BBPoreConnect2025 at @tugraz! https://t.co/Aq2xwJQGhR

To conclude this intense and fruitful #BBPore2025, we would like to thank @_GENAM, @ICMol_UV (María de Maeztu), @LaNauuv, @gvaeducacio, @cienciagob, and @P_recuperacio #NextGenerationEU for making this conference possible and contributing to science dissemination across Europe

To close the conference, Ross Forgan (@forganross) from @UofGChem, our last plenary speaker, talks about the optimization of MOF-based drug delivery through novel synthetic and analytical techniques #BBPore2025

Jesús Ferrando-Soria, from #MUPOMAT at @ICMol_UV explains the possibilities of bio-Metal-Organic Frameworks for the removal of emergent contaminants #BBPore2025

Sara Rojas, invited speaker from @CanalUGR highlights a different biotechnological application of Metal-Organic Frameworks as multifunctional platforms in agriculture, showcasing the versatility of porous materials #BBPore2025

Vicente Martí Centelles (@vtemarticent) from @IDM_UPV_UV @UPV shows the tailoring of molecular cages for guest binding and sensing. Ana Borrego from @DBiop at @UV_EG talks about sepiolite as a porous nanocarrier to enhance mirtazapine drug delivery #BBPore2025

Next invited speaker, Francesco Carraro (@Carraro_Fra) from @tugraz explores the possibilities of Hydrogen-bonded Organic Frameworks for biotechnology applications #BBPore2025

#BBPore2025 is starting! Let me join our first speaker, Patricia Horcajada, in thanking @GimenezMarques @GMinguezEsp and all the people that supported the organization of this great event! #biotech #PorousMaterials #biocomposites #MOFs #biomedicine

David Fairen-Jiménez (@DavidFairen) from @cebcambridge inaugurates as plenary speaker the second day of #BBPore2025, displaying the suitability of Metal-Organic Frameworks as non-toxic, robust drug delivery systems
