He went to Munich, Leipzig, Zurich and Geneva, with notable teachers. There was passion for research and in 1916 earned a doctorate in physics for a thesis on the determination of the atomic weight of bromine. In 1917 he returned to Spain and was Aposento in Madrid, tret a laboratory JAE, where he earned a third doctorate in chemistry on the atomic weight of fluorine. In 1927 he became Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Complutense University, where he made a considerable renewal of curricula and implement Tessiner degree.

Joaquim Sales, Emeritus Professor of Inorganic tret Chemistry at the University of Barcelona, Valencia and Gregory, research scientist IQAC-CSIC in Barcelona, along with Agustin Nieto-Galan Professor of History of Science at UAB, have coordinated all acts by installing plate, contact the family of Henry Moles living in Zaragoza convince tret the Historical Memory, the Gracia district of Barcelona City Hall, Catalonian tret chemical companies ...
Chambers has published tret a magnificent book "Chemistry at the University of Barcelona" (Barcelona 2011 Service Publications and Editions UB), and has collaborated in the translation and publication of historical works of chemistry. Valencia has been very interesting to remember characters and chemistry teachers in our country, organizing events, websites and publications in his memory,. Some examples: Juan Jose Garcia Dominguez (1940-1984), Pere Miro (1927-2013), and now Moles.
