RESEARCH INTERESTS

The scientific activity of the researcher is developed in the field of Thermochemistry

and it is centred in these main topics:

1 - Study on the Energetics of Compounds Derived from 1,3-azoles.

2 - Molecular Energetics of the substitution of Oxygen by Sulphur in Heteropolycyclic Compounds; 
3 -Determination of the Dissociation Enthalpies of the (N-O) Bond in Organic Compounds; 
4 -Thermochemical Study of Compounds Containing the Functional Group Nitroso;
5 - Development of Correlations between Structure and Reactivity in N-Substituted Heterocyclic Derivatives; 
6 - Energetic of the Bonds Metal-Sulphur and Metal-Nitrogen in Metallic Complexes;
