Eugenio Coronado, Director of ICMol, Receives the Prestigious JSCC International Award from the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry

The Director of the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) at the University of Valencia, Professor Eugenio Coronado, has been awarded the JSCC International Award, one of the most prestigious recognitions in the field of coordination chemistry, granted by the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC).

The award acknowledges Professor Coronado’s outstanding scientific career and his contributions to the advancement of molecular materials chemistry. After a rigorous evaluation process, the JSCC committee selected him as the recipient of this distinction, which will be officially presented at the 75th Conference of the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry, to be held from September 15 to 17, 2025, at Nagasaki University, Japan. As part of the recognition, Professor Coronado will deliver a plenary lecture at the event.

A Highly Prestigious Recognition

The JSCC International Award has previously been awarded to globally renowned researchers such as Michael Grätzel, Jean-Pierre Sauvage (2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Omar M. Yaghi, and Joel S. Miller, consolidating its status as a top-tier honor in the field of coordination chemistry.

Eugenio Coronado is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Valencia and the Director of ICMol, a leading institute in nanotechnology and advanced molecular materials. His research focuses on the development of materials with innovative electronic and magnetic properties, with applications in quantum technologies, spintronics, and information storage.

At ICMol, we celebrate this significant international recognition of our Director’s career, reinforcing the impact of molecular chemistry on scientific progress and its projection within the research community.
