Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
Gold is not just a shiny metal associated with wealth and elegance. It also has special properties that allow it to easily trigger specific chemical reactions. On the other hand, acetylene, which is small, common and cheap gas, is often used for welding and making synthetic plastics. This project aims to use the special properties of gold to create new innovative tools. These tools will help combine acetylene with more complex molecules, resulting in entirely new molecules with interesting properties and abilities. These new tools can help in developing new materials (e.g. plastics), new pesticides for better farming and new medicines.
