Professor Dr. Antoni Llobet, Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain Professor Llobet is one of the world leaders on water oxidation catalysis. He has been working in the field of redox catalysis for 25 years; his research interests include the development of tailored transition metal complexes as catalysts for selective organic and inorganic transformations including the oxidation of water to molecular dioxygen, supramolecular catalysis, the activation of C-H and C-F bonds, and the preparation low molecular weight complexes as models of the active sites of oxidative metalloproteins. In 2000, Professor Llobet received the Distinction Award from Generalitat de Catalunya for Young Scientists and in 2011 he was awarded the Bruker Prize in Inorganic Chemistry from the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ). He is the author of over 120 research publications.
