Put on-line by Karine Philippot, Myrtil Kahn - 19 May

Nanostructures and Organometallic Chemistry

The team "Nanostructures and Organometallic Chemistry" has developed a novel method for the synthesis in solution and under mild conditions of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles from organometallic precursors. The characterization of these nano-objects is performed using various techniques from materials chemistry (electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-rays diffraction and scattering, EXAFS...) as well as spectroscopic methods used in molecular chemistry (infrared spectroscopy, solution or solid state NMR...). We are first interested in the control of the growth and of the surface chemistry of the nano-objects: shape control, self-organization, surface ligands and also the influence of the surface chemistry onto the chemical properties (catalysis) and the physical properties (magnetism, optics, electronics) of the particles. These works find interesting applications in various areas like asymmetric catalysis, biology (toxicology, hyperthermia) and microelectronics. More particularly, the activity of the group in the domain of micro-gas sensors gave rise to a development at the industrial level.

The team "Nanostructures and Organometallic Chemistry" is located in 2 different sites: at the LCC-CNRS and at the LNMO-INSA and has collaborations in various domains with numerous laboratories, in example in Toulouse with the C’Nano programme (LNMO, LAAS, CEMES, IMRCP).
