Overview

The research projects developed by the research group Molecular and Supramolecular Materials focus on the design of molecular organizations with workable chemical, physical and/or structural properties. Such features confer an identity to the chemical object that becomes material. Our approach towards supramolecular materials is based on the assembling of pre-formed molecular building blocks by the means of coordination chemistry or charge-assisted H-bonding.

At the interface between chemistry and physic, we take advantage of electronic properties (exchange interaction, magnetic anisotropy, luminescence) of transition or rare-earth ions coordination compounds to achieve magnetic materials such as Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) or Single Chain Magnet (SCM).

We explore also an original approach towards microporous solids using ionic hydrogen bonding as a cement for open 3D architectures.

Our works grow around three themes:

Anisotropic magnetic materials (SMM, SCM),
Multifunctional molecular magnets (multiferroic and magneto-optics),
Porous supramolecular architectures.
