• This is really tough!

• We need analogies

• We need to innovate in communicating research

• Task in submitted FECyT project: Los 17 puntos clave de la comunicación low-cost de la investigación


4n+2 Hückel’s rule

4n+2 Hückel’s rule strictly holds for monocyclic systems like benzene and

cyclooctatetraene (annulenes with planar symmetry)

But, are all molecules with electrons in a ring aromatic?

Maths of Science: Schödinger’s equation

This may actually be fun!


But wait… we need to provide Quantum Chemistry’s foundations :-)

We’re searching for low-cost, high-quality tools to communicate research

Everyday Analogies - Helped by some “fancy” toolNeed to be seen, touched, …

Y seguimos buscando los 3 pies al gato (de Schrödinger, claro)
