Journal ArticleDOI
Catechol-Based Biomimetic Functional Materials
TL;DR: It is shown that catechols can be found either as simple molecular systems, forming part of supramolacular structures, coordinated to different metal ions or as macromolecules mostly arising from polymerization mechanisms through covalent bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Chemistry behind Catechol-Based Adhesion
TL;DR: The aim of this Review is to present recent investigations that elucidate the origin of the strong and versatile adsorption capacities of the catechol moiety and the effects of extrinsic factors that play important roles in the overall adhesion process, such as pH value, solvent, and the presence of metal ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-photon neuronal and astrocytic stimulation with azobenzene-based photoswitches.
Mercè Izquierdo-Serra,Marta Gascón-Moya,Jan J. Hirtz,Silvia Pittolo,Kira E. Poskanzer,Eric Ferrer,Ramon Alibés,Félix Busqué,Rafael Yuste,Jordi Hernando,Pau Gorostiza +10 more
TL;DR: Two-photon excitation of azobenzene-based protein switches and versatile strategies to enhance their photochemical responses enables new applications to control the activation of neurons and astrocytes with cellular and subcellular resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Versatile Nanostructured Materials via Direct Reaction of Functionalized Catechols
Javier Saiz-Poseu,Josep Sedó,Beatriz Garcia,Cristina Benaiges,Teo Parella,Ramon Alibés,Jordi Hernando,Félix Busqué,Daniel Ruiz-Molina +8 more
TL;DR: A facile one-step polymerization strategy is explored to achieve novel catechol-based materials to modify at will the surface tension of nano and bulk structures, from oleo-/hydrophobic to highly hydrophilic.
Journal ArticleDOI
A metal-free general procedure for oxidation of secondary amines to nitrones.
Carolina Gella,Eric Ferrer,Ramon Alibés,Félix Busqué,Pedro de March,Marta Figueredo,Josep Font +6 more
TL;DR: An efficient and metal-free protocol for direct oxidation of secondary amines to nitrones has been developed, using Oxone in a biphasic basic medium as the sole oxidant, providing rapid access to enantiomerically pure compounds in good yields.
