About
Vanesa Marcos is a leading figure in the field of supramolecular chemistry and molecular machinery, with a particular focus on the design and application of synthetic molecular machines for stereodivergent synthesis. Her most notable contribution is the development of a programmable molecular machine capable of achieving stereodivergent synthesis—a breakthrough that allows for the controlled production of different stereoisomers from the same starting materials using external stimuli. This work, published in 2017 and cited over 177 times, represents a paradigm shift in synthetic chemistry, offering unprecedented precision in molecular-level manipulation. Marcos’s research has profound implications for the synthesis of complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals and materials, where stereochemistry dictates function. Her innovative approach has been recognized as a cornerstone in the evolution of molecular nanotechnology, bridging the gap between fundamental supramolecular principles and practical synthetic applications. Through her work, Marcos has demonstrated how molecular machines can be programmed to perform specific tasks, inspiring a new generation of chemists to explore the potential of dynamic, responsive systems in chemical synthesis.
