Supramolecular Assemblies Based on Electrostatic Interactions

Prof. Antonio Frontera is currently a full professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of the Balearic Islands, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. He received his BSc (1990) and PhD (1994) in Computational Organic Chemistry under the supervision of Professors J. M. Saá, Pere M. Deyà and J. Morey. After a post-doc stay in Yale University under the supervision of Prof. William L. Jorgensen (1995-1996) where he was working towards the development of a force field for carbohydrates, he returned to Spain as a researcher at the University of the Balearic Islands. In 2005 he obtained the “Ramon y Cajal” contract   for working in the field of carbon nanotubes and lithium batteries. He is currently a co-IP of the Supramolecular Chemistry Group (UIB). Prof. Antonio Frontera is author/coauthor of more than 750 professional research articles (h-index 70) and 5 book chapters. His research areas include supramolecular chemistry, noncovalent interactions, computational chemistry, aromaticity and crystal engineering.
