Laboratoire Hétérochimie Fondamentale et Appliquée (LHFA) Dr. Nicolas MÉZAILLES, SHEN Team (Systèmes de Hautes Energies) Prof. Dr. Montserrat GOMEZ, SYMAC Team (Systèmes Métalliques Appliqués en Catalyse) Collaboration with industrial partner (company has to remain confidential for now): Development of original starting metal precursors and their coordination to nitrogen-rich ligands preparing the application in the design of energetic materials. Development of noval metal phosphide nanoparticles in non-usual solvent.
Department of Inorganic Chemistry Prof. Dr. Christian Müller, focused on low-coordinate phosphorus chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and molecular materials Topic: 3H-1,2,3,4-Triazaphospholes -Tuned 1H-1,2,3-Triazoles or Independent Ligand Class Selected projects by relevance: Homogeneous catalysis: -Electrochemical CO2 reduction with 3H-1,2,3,4-triazaphosphole based ligand (unpublished). - 3H-1,2,3,4-triazaphospholes in copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), (manuscript in preparation). Synthesis optimization: - Synthesis of P(TMS)3, reduction agent for metal (phosphite) nanoparticles, phiosphorus (III) source, (Dalton Trans. 2016, 45, 2218-2226). Light emitting materials: -Functionalized 3H-1,2,3,4-triazaphosphole derivatives as novel light emitting materials (Chem. Eur J. 2015, 21, 11096-11109). Basic research: -Triazaphospholenium salts as analouges of 1,2,3-Triazole-derived carbenes (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 56, 16484-16489).
