Basic Concepts of Orbital Theory in Organic Chemistry

Eusebio Juaristi, PhD, is Professor at Centro de Investigacion de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Mexico City, Mexico. He has produced influential research in numerous areas of physical organic chemistry, particularly conformational analysis and stereochemistry, as well as computational chemistry, asymmetric organocatalysis, and sustainable chemistry.

C. Gabriela Ávila-Ortiz, PhD, is a Research Assistant at Centro de Investigacion de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Mexico City, Mexico. She works in Professor Juaristi’s research group studying the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds, organocatalysis, and green chemistry.

Alberto Vega-Peñaloza, PhD, is Serra Hunter Lecturer in the Section of Organic Chemistry at the University of Barcelona, Spain. He has worked as Senior Scientist I at Selvita S.A., Poland, as a postdoctoral fellow at the Faculty of Chemistry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), as a postdoctoral researcher at ICIQ in Spain, and at the University of Padova, Italy, where he was awarded the Seal of Excellence UniPD grant to work on the development of photocatalytic systems for sustainable synthetic methods.
