  • Academic Career Ernesto Carmona (Phd Degree, University of Seville
    Academic Career Ernesto Carmona (PhD degree, University of Seville, 1974, Professor F. González García) did postdoctoral work at Imperial College London with (the late) Professor Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson (1974-1977). He then returned to Sevilla, to become full Professor in 1983, where he established an independent research group in the area of Organometallic Chemistry. Over the years, his research interests have concentrated in the activation of small, unsaturated molecules, like N2, CO, CO2, C2H4, etc., by compounds of several transition elements, in particular by low-valent molybdenum and tungsten compounds containing phosphine ligands, and also by organometallic compounds of nickel and palladium. During the last 15 years his group has studied the capacity of Tp’Rh and Tp’Ir complexes (Tp’= hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand) to induce the activation of C-H bonds (to a lesser extent C-O and C-N bonds), and also to achieve the selective formation of C-C bonds. Recent work has demonstrated that unsaturated Tp’Ir(III) fragments are capable to effect the selective rupture of the Calkyl-O bond of alkyl aryl ethers, ROAr, in tandem reactions that imply multiple C-H bond activation, C-O cleavage and C-C bond formation. Moreover, these complexes are also capable to promote tautomerization of 2-substituted pyridines, and even of unsubstituted pyridine, to corresponding N-heterocyclic carbenes. More recently his group has studied the structural characteristics of metallocenes of actinide and main group elements. Investigations on zinc cyclopentadienyls permitted the characterization of different zincocenes, among them the first molecular compound of zinc that contains a Zn-Zn bond.

Compañeros Claustrales. Doctores de otras Universidades que hoy nos honráis con vuestra presencia. Miembros de la Comunidad Académica. Señoras y Señores. Hoy me llena de emoción ocupar esta cátedra para pronunciar el Elogio del profesor Stephen Graham Davies, mi profesor y después amigo, desde que en Septiembre de 1990 tuve la enorme fortuna de trabajar en el laboratorio Dyson Perrins en Oxford. En primer lugar, quisiera agradecer al Departamento de Química Orgánica, a la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas, al Consejo de Gobierno y al Claustro de Doctores que ratificaron con sus votos nuestra propuesta del profesor Stephen G. Davies como Doctor “Honoris Causa” por esta Universidad. Hoy es para mi un honor elogiar las cualidades de un químico tan prestigioso y excepcional, como lo es el Profesor Stephen G. Davies, Catedrático de la Universidad de Oxford y que también lo ha sido de la Universidad de Salamanca, como destacaré más adelante. Las tradiciones de nuestra Universidad, reflejadas en este ceremonial, se ven hoy complementadas con las imágenes con las que quiero iniciar esta “laudatio”. Señor Rector, señores claustrales, aunque los datos que acabamos de ver bastarían para justificar la distinción que se le otorga. Creo de rigor, aprovechar esta oportunidad para profundizar en estos méritos, dada la excelencia científica, el prestigio internacionalmente reconocido y la impresionante propuesta investigadora. 1 de 5 RECTORADO [email protected] Patio de Escuelas, nº 1 37008.
