• 2D self-assembly of o-OPE foldamers for chiroptical barcoding 

      López-Sicilia, Irene; Ortuño, Ana M.; Reine, Pablo; Otero, David; Martín-Romero, M.T.; Camacho, Luis; Álvarez de Cienfuegos, Luis; Giner-Casares, Juan J.; Miguel, Delia; Cuerva, Juan M. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
      We report on the preparation and characterization of two dimensional (2D) films of (S,S,P)-1 and (R,R,M)-1ortho-oligophenylene ethylene (o-OPE) enantiomers presenting high values of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). ...
    • A Stratum corneum lipid model as a platform for biophysical profiling of bioactive chemical interactions at the skin level 

      Fernandes, Eduarda; López-Sicilia, Irene; Martín-Romero, M.T.; Giner-Casares, Juan J.; Lúcio, Marlene (Elsevier, 2024)
      Stratum Corneum (SC), the outermost layer of mammalian skin, provides the first and most challenging barrier to skin permeation of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compounds. SC barrier function relies primarily on the complex ...
    • Exploiting hydrogen bonding to direct supramolecular polymerization at the air/water interface 

      Argudo, Pablo G.; Coelho, João Paulo; López-Sicilia, Irene; Guerrero-Martínez, A.; Martín-Romero, M.T.; Camacho, Luis; Fernández, G.; Giner-Casares, Juan J. (Wiley, 2023)
      Fluid interfaces provide an advanced platform for directed self-assembly of organic composites and formation of supramolecular polymers (SPs). Intermolecular interactions govern the supramolecular polymerization processes, ...
    • Supramolecular Large Nanosheets Assembled at Air/Water Interfaces and in Solution from Amphiphilic Heptagon-Containing Nanographenes 

      Arthur H. G., David; Mañas-Torres, Mari C.; Codesal, Marcos D.; López-Sicilia, Irene; Martín-Romero, M.T.; Camacho, Luis; Cuerva, Juan M.; Blanco, Víctor; Giner-Casares, Juan J.; Álvarez de Cienfuegos, Luis; Campaña, Araceli G. (ACS, 2023)
      We report the synthesis of a new set of amphiphilic saddle-shaped heptagon-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) functionalized with tetraethylene glycol chains and their self-assembly into large two-dimensional ...
