MARCELINO MANEIRO MANEIRO

Marcelino Maneiro Maneiro is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Faculty of Sciences and Department of Inorganic Chemistry. He leads the SUPRABIOIN research group in Bioinorganic and Supramolecular Chemistry.

Education:

• Ph.D. from University of Santiago de Compostela (1998), thesis on Artificial photosynthesis: synthesis of new mimetic complexes, supervised by Dr. Manuel R. Bermejo and Dr. Antonio Sousa Alonso.

His research focuses on coordination chemistry of metal complexes, particularly manganese and gold-based systems for artificial photosynthesis, catalytic antioxidants, and anticancer applications. He explores supramolecular assembly, ligand design, and redox-active materials.

Recent work includes Inorganic Chemistry (2016) on electrochemical gold complex synthesis, Dalton Transactions (2016) on Pb(II) helicates, and PNAS (2003) on proton-coupled electron transfer in manganese-oxo systems.

Collaborations span institutions like Universidade Lusófona, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Cardiff University, and KAUST. His educational outreach includes liquid-liquid extraction demonstrations and historical science communication.
