• Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with application in supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering. 

• Functionalization of carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and nanohorns. 

• Preparation of new nanostructures as non-viral gene transfection systems. 

• Preparation of graphene derivatives and their application in medicinal chemistry and materials chemistry. 

• Design of new microwave systems adapted to chemical synthesis .

• Applications of microwave radiation in continuous flow systems.

•  Enrollment and request for certifications and degrees: Student Management Unit of the doctoral student's Campus. 

• Application for admission and thesis deposit: Secretary of the Department to which the student's tutor belongs.
  
  

• The document must have at least three articles published or accepted in journals that are in the first two quartiles of the JCR. 

• No more than five years must have elapsed between the publication of the first and the last article and at least one published with the student already enrolled in the corresponding PhD program. 

• The Director/Directors of the thesis must be co-authors in at least the last of the published papers. 

• The articles can only be used for a single thesis and therefore this will be stated by the rest of the non-doctoral co-authors in a letter of "renunciation" to use such articles to prepare other theses, which must be attached to the sections that comprise the Doctoral Thesis. 

• The position occupied by the doctoral student among the signatories of the articles must be among the first three signatories. 

• The thesis must have at least the following sections: 

1. Abstract/Summary.

2. Introduction (section in which the problems studied in the student's work are presented in a general way).

3. Justification.

4. Hypothesis and Objectives.

5. Work plan or methodology.

6. Results (this section will be composed of the three published articles as they have been published in the respective journals, and may also include others in the format of a scientific article in the process of revision or writing).

7. General discussion.

8. Conclusions/Conclusions.

9. Bibliography.
