Short Bio

Sandra Hidalgo was born in Cali – Colombia. She obtained a B.Sc. in Chemistry from University of Valle (ISCTN, Cuba) (1997-2004). In 2008 she obtained her Master degree in Sciences at National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM, where she worked in carbonylation of unsaturated substrates using K₄Fe(CN)₆•3H₂O y Ni(CN)₂•4H₂O (Prof. Armando Cabrera Ortiz). In 2014 she obtained her PhD degree in Chemical Sciences at UNAM, her research was on inorganic synthesis on heterobimetallic ring formation using metals of group four with Aluminoxanes and Aluminoxane Sulfides (Prof. Mónica Moya). In October of 2014, she moves to Ecuador and joins the Project Yachay Tech. Currently, she is as full-time professor and Coordinator of the Career of Chemistry School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering.

Among her research interests are the synthesis of organometallic complexes containing hemiliable ligands with alkaline earth metals, transitional and lanthanides. Potential use of Organometallic Complexes in the activation of small molecules and in polymerization processes. Additionally, she collaborates with international institutions in the development of various interdisciplinary projects as in projects of Applied Mathematics focused on basic sciences and engineering, in bioremediation projects for the removal of heavy metals (hexavalent chromium). She is the author of some scientific publications in indexed journals and book chapter.

Summary of Interests

Among her research interests are the synthesis of organometallic complexes containing hemiliable ligands with alkaline earth metals, transitional and lanthanides. Potential use of Organometallic Complexes in the activation of small molecules and in polymerization processes. She also participates as partner in projects of Applied Mathematics focused on basic sciences and engineering, in bioremediation projects for the removal of heavy metals (hexavalent chromium) and evaluation of derivates of L- Proline as potential organic catalysts.

Current Research projects

Synthesis of the organometallic compound with the ligand 4,5-bis(diphenylthiophosphinoyl)-1,2,3-triazolate and hemilabile ligands (Ph)2PCH₂[P(Ph)2N{P(OR)2(E)}], [(Ph)2P(E)CH2[P(Ph)₂N{P(OR)₂(E)}] y H₂C[P(Ph)₂N{P(OR)₂(E)}]2 (E = S, Se; R = Et, Ph)
