Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination.

Our research aims to design new organometallic species presenting unusual coordination modes and to look for interesting catalytic applications. One main area concerns the chemistry of organometallic complexes containing σ H-E bonds (E = H, C, Si, B). Mechanistic investigations are at the heart of our research to understand how to improve selectivity or achieve better activity, two major goals in catalysis.
