Isabel Castro Bleda

Isabel Castro Bleda is a Professor in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Valencia. She is affiliated with the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMOL) and leads research within the GCC Coordination Chemistry group, focusing on the synthesis and characterization of metal complexes.

Her research interests lie primarily in inorganic and coordination chemistry, with emphasis on the structural and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes. Her work involves the study of ligands such as oxalate, squarate, and croconate in copper(II) systems, combining synthesis, crystallography, and solution-phase analysis.

She earned her PhD from the University of Valencia in 1991 under the supervision of Dr. Juan Faus Payá. Her doctoral work laid the foundation for her ongoing research in molecular magnetism and coordination compounds.

While no recent publications or scientific awards are listed in the provided text, her long-standing academic position and research group affiliation indicate sustained contributions to the field of inorganic chemistry.

She has advised doctoral students, including those working on related metal complexes, though specific names are not provided. There is no indication of part-time status, suggesting a full-time academic role. She is actively involved in research through ICMOL and the GCC research group.
