Overview
The “Small Molecules Activation” team brings together 3 researchers and 1 assistant-professor around themes mainly centered on the coordination and organometallic chemistry of a wide range of transition metals.
We apply it to the activation and valorization of small molecules (H2, CO2, N2, CH4, N2O, etc.), sometimes in combination with main-group chemistry: boron, silicon or fluorine also take their place in the portfolio of elements whose reactivity we study.
The team is committed to pushing its discoveries towards technologies related to health, materials, energy and fine chemicals.
