Annie Pinxten
Didactica, AXES (Antwerp X-ray Analysis, Electrochemistry and Speciation), Behavioural Ecology & Ecophysiology
This project represents a formal research agreement between UA and on the other hand the Province of Antwerp. UA provides the Province of Antwerp research results mentioned in the title of the project under the conditions as stipulated in this contract.

Catalysts and Polymer Chemistry for Carbon Circularity: Innovative chemistry forupgrading plastic waste (C3). KU Leuven

Dirk De Vos
Membrane Separations, Adsorption, Catalysis, and Spectroscopy for Sustainable Solutions (cMACS), Universiteit Gent
The grand challenge of closing the carbon cycle for large-scale produced plastics such aspolyolefins is addressed. Rather than being considered waste, these will serve as raw materials to produce novel polymers with superior physical properties and recyclability, and to produce valueadded, well-defined low molecular building blocks. Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts will be deployed in a concerted fashion to design energy efficient and ...

InSusChem - Consortium for Integrated Sustainable Chemistry Antwerp. University of Antwerp

Vera Meynen
Applied Electrochemistry & Catalysis (ELCAT), Engineering Management, Intelligence in PRocesses, Advanced Catalysts and Solvents (iPRACS), Plasma Lab for Applications in Sustainability and Medicine - Antwerp (PLASMANT), Sustainable Energy, Air and Water Technology (DuEL), Institutional Research Unit, Organic synthesis (ORSY), Laboratory of adsorption and catalysis (LADCA)
This IOF consortium connects chemists, engineers, economic and environmental oriented researchers in an integrated team to maximize impact in key enabling sustainable chemical technologies, materials and reactors that are able to play a crucial role in a sustainable chemistry and economic transition to a circular, resource efficient and carbon neutral economy (part of the 2030 and 2050 goals in which Europe aims to lead). Innovative materials, ...

Synthesis of dehydrosinefungin and related 4-exo-alkylidene furanoses as novel building blocks for medicinal chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Guido Verniest
Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Surgical clinical sciences, Department of Bio-engineering Sciences
The natural product dehydrosinefungin was isolated from microorganisms in 2010 and showed to posses antibiotic properties. This compound is a conjugate of an adenosine (nucleoside) and an ornithine (amino acid) part and has recently attracted interest as nucleoside analogue with potential in antiviral and anticancer research. Unfortunately, no total synthesis of dehydrosinefungin has been described today. The development of methods that allow ...

Geminal-based description of strong electron correlations in quantum chemistry Ghent University

Dimitri Van Neck
Department of Physics and astronomy

All chemical processes, from those we observe (classically) in our daily lives to the most sophisticated ones observed in the laboratory, are governed by NatureU+2019s laws acting on the underlying microscopic constituents. Whereas the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics have been formulated more than a century ago, the description of matter from first principles remains a serious challenge for quantum chemists. This is due to the large ...

Physical Chemistry of Ionic Liquids as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) KU Leuven

Luc Van Meervelt
Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology, Soft Matter and Biophysics

Ionic liquids(ILs) are organic salts entirely combined with ions, which have low melting temperature. Because of flexibility, ILs have developed explosively in the last decades. The researchers almost focused on two areas: (1) physical and chemical properties, (2) application on solvent, co-solvent, energetic materials and lubricant. Then, chemists found some ILs involve active pharmaceutical ingredients(APIs) can be used to produce ILs with ...

Multi-centre Quantum Chemistry. KU Leuven

Arnout Ceulemans
Department of Chemistry, Molecular Design and Synthesis, Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology, Quantum Chemistry and Physical Chemistry
'Multi-centre quantum chemistry' investigates the delicate electronic structures that result when open shells on two or more electronic centres interact. The project consists or (i) methodological developments, (ii) computational applications, (iii) in relation to experimental studies. The interaction schemes for open shells involve tensorial techniques for evaluation of exchange potentials and ab initio calculations within the CASSCF approach: ...

Sustainable chemistry for the synthesis of fine chemicals Ghent University

Christian Stevens
Department of Green Chemistry and Technology

The chemical industry in Flanders is of major importance at several levels. It provides 10% of all employment in Flanders, is home of

the largest petrochemical cluster in Europe and is the main location of 10 out of the worldU+2019s top 20 chemical companies. The

chemical industry stands for more or less 50% of all R&D expenditures in Flanders and for 30% of all industrial investments in

Belgium. Flanders is ...

Bifocal Quantum Chemistry. KU Leuven

Arnout Ceulemans
Quantum Chemistry and Physical Chemistry
Quantum chemical computations on extended and/or composite molecular systems pose many challenges, not only because of size limitations, but also because of configurational degrees of freedom. The project aims at the combination of local and delocalized discriptions to successfully treat these challenging systems. The term bifocal refers to an approach where the regional and global aspects are interlocked and the description requires a dual ...

Supramolecular Chemistry and Materials Hasselt University

Materials Chemistry
Supramolecular chemistry is an important discipline in chemical research. A large variety of new materials with interesting and valorizable properties are available by supramolecular organization or assembly. This scientific community aims at coordinating the research that is done in the domain of supramolecular chemistry and materials at a number of Flemish universities, complemented with some international expert groups. As a result, the ...
