On May 17, 2016, Professor Santiago Gómez-Ruiz of Universidad Rey Juan Carlos visits our university, and gave a wonderful report to the teachers and students of School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering. The report was emceed by Prof. Jimin Xie, about one hundred faculties, graduate students and overseas students attended this report.
Prof. Gómez-Ruiz’s report entitled “Development of Organometallic Chemistry: From the old tetra-methyldiarsine to current sophisticated complexes with various applications”. In this report, he mainly focused on the description of the development of Organometallic Chemistry reviewing the principal advances and applications of this class of compounds. Attendees benefited a lot from the report.
The next day, Prof. Gómez-Ruiz and some teachers and students of school of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering attended an academic salon together. They had a deep discussion in their own research field. And also discussed cooperation between the two sides.
Prof. Gómez-Ruiz is the winner of the “3rd European Young Chemist Award 2010” and the Special Prize “Marie Curie” (2011). His research fields lie in design and synthesis of new anticancer agents based on metal complexes or natural products, synthesis of novel nanostructured silica-based biomaterials with medicinal applications against cancer, study of phosphorus-rich complexes as potential precursors for the preparation of metal phosphides, and so on. Recent years, he has published about 100 papers with high impact factor and 3 books.
