T
he main interests of the research group of Miquel A. Pericàs are enantioselective catalysis
and nanotechnology. More specifically, attention is paid to pluridisciplinary aspects common to these two areas. This research has the generic goals of the development of new immobilized catalytic systems to perform the enantioselective formation of C-C and C-X bonds through procedures with improved sustainability characteristics and the development of nanomaterials with application in the fields of catalysis, selective detoxification and biomedicine. The following research lines are active in
