Research Interest

My research interests include organic and organometallic synthesis, and chemical education. For the past thirty-two years, I have been teaching at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus and performing research in the area of chemical education. During the last ten years, I have also been doing research in the area of synthetic organic chemistry.

Organometallic Chemistry

Chalcones have been reported to have a broad range of biological activities such as antimalarial, antibacterial, antitumor, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, and anti-HIV. An enhancement of the antitumor activity has been observed when one of thearomatic rings is replaced with ferrocene, however, the mechanism of action is still uncertain. Therefore, our researchexplores and chemically modifies the structure of ferrocenyl chalcone-based scaffolds to study their anticancer andantioxidant activities. This study will also yield information regarding possible mechanisms of action. Among the proposedmodifications to the ferrocenyl chalcone–based scaffolds is the incorporation of heterocyclic moieties. This can be affordedeither introducing a heterocyclic aromatic substituent or functionalizing the –unsaturated system. Another modificationis to form ammonium or pyridinium salts to increase water solubility. All compounds are extensively characterized by Infrared, 1H and 13C–NMR spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, single crystal x-ray diffraction and cyclic voltametry. Antioxidant activity are studied applying DPPH radical scavenging assay and antitumor by MTS colorimetric cell proliferation assay.

Chemical Education

Our research work is based upon the theoretical perspective building on constructivist and meaningful learning theory. In this respect, the construction of knowledge will therefore depend on the interaction of personal experiences with private understandings. As educators, we must be aware of student understandings and provide the adequate environment and opportunities for students to more easily create and retrieve appropriate conceptions. Our research includes three intertwined branches: the instruction (transmission of attitudes, skills and habits of inquiry to students), the practice (development of the tools and methods used to teach chemistry) and the assessment.

Outreach

Development and Implementation of the “Festival de Química” for the American Chemical Society (ACS). It was moved to be an ACS Program (Festival Series) in August 2015.

The “Festival de Química” is a community outreach event that, through demonstrations, emphasizes the importance of chemistry in daily life. The event was initially designed, developed and implemented in Puerto Rico, since 2010 ACS adopted this model to broader its impact internationally.

It includes training prior to the event using the model “Train the trainers” for those who will work as volunteers, manual for volunteer, manual for outreach coordinator and flash cards for participants.

Each event reaches out from 300 up to thousands children and students.

Ongoing event in Puerto Rico since 2005 (National Chemistry Week and Chemists Celebrate Earth Day)
