Metals and their functions

The activity of our équipe within the Department of Organic Materials (DMO) is mostly centered on the design and characterization of organometallic molecular and supramolecular systems for catalytic, photophysical/photoelectronic and materials applications. Our research, carried out in collaboration with numerous other research groups in France, Europe and worldwide, aims to deepen the knowledge on the correlation between structure and function, whether it is catalytic activity, selectivity, fluorescence colour or efficiency, redox behavour, etc.

In the news

We recently prepared and characterized a large family of chiral Re(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes that show circularly polarized luminescence and carried out an extensive theoretical study to better correlate their CPL emission to their structural, electronic and magnetic nature.

We recently studied a large series of (electro)luminescent binuclear biphenyl C^C Au(III) complexes which show anticancer activity and potential applications in the fabrication of light-emitting electrochemical cells.

We recently presented the synthesis of three new tetranuclear copper-iodide clusters with cubane-like {Cu4I4} motif that show very intense yellow solid state luminescence (up to 83% PLQY). 10.3390/sym15061210

Bio-inorganic and medicinal chemistry

Since the discovery of cisplatin as an anticancer agent, chemists have varied the ligands around the metal to improve its efficacy while trying to reduce its side effects. Although there have been more failures than successes, essential progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms of tumor resistance properties. N-heterocyclic carbene as a ligand for organometallic chemistry is a relatively young field that offers new opportunities in many areas, including medicinal chemistry. In the laboratory, we are developing new tools to combat cancer cells and cancer stem cells. Our strategy combines noble metal with novel NHC ligands. In collaboration with the Faculty of Pharmacy (3BIO team), we are studying their anticancer activity and mode of action.

Organometallic chemistry and catalysis

Asymmetric catalysis, which combines a transition metal with a chiral ligand, has emerged as the most elegant and efficient technique for creating a new stereogenic centre. As the catalyst is not consumed during the process, it can be used in substoichiometric quantities, improving efficiency and avoiding waste. In the laboratory, we design and synthesize new ligands for various enantioselective and non-enantioselective reactions. We are particularly interested in the phenomen of chirality amplification, which is essential not only to understand the mechanisms of the catalytic reaction, but also to contribute to the debate on homochirality in life.

Supramolecular and materials chemistry

Supramolecular functional materials capable of responding to external stimuli offer advantages over their conventional covalent counterparts. In our lab, the design of (chiral) molecular building blocks that self-assemble via intermolecular forces to form coordination structures enables us to create innovative materials for diverse applications. In particular, we are interested in the preparation of actuators capable of responding to external stimuli in a spatio-temporal manner, of self-repairing and of indicating a direction of movement. In addition to first-row transition metals such as Cu(I)/Cu(II) and Zn(I)/Zn(II), second and third-row metals with tendency to self-assemble and stack (mainly Pt(II) coordination compounds) are also prepared and studied, with a special focus on their luminescence properties.

Red, Near-IR and circularly polarized emitters

Our équipe is also working on the design, development and photophysical characterization of fluorescent and phosphorescent organometallic emitters pushing the boundaries of emission well above the red region of the visible spectrum, in the near-IR (>750 nm). In addition to this, some of these compounds are designed with the goal to achieve circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). These novel emitters are then fully characterized and sent to our collaborators to be tested in experimental devices.

Detailed photophysical studies

In our laboratories we have access to a wide range of instruments to fully characterize luminescent compounds, with three double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometers, a steady-state Horiba Jobin−Yvon IBH FL-322 Fluorolog 3 spectrometer equipped with a 450 W xenon arc lamp, and time-resolved PicoQuant FluoTime 300 fluorimeter with multiple pulsed lasers. With the aid of custom quartzware we can carry out extensive photophysical studies in solution, at low temperature, in the solid state, in spin-coated polymer thin films, and in degassed conditions. This allows us to engage in multiple collaborations with researchers who wish to study and investigate the luminescence properties and emission dynamics of their organic, organometallic or inorganic compounds.

Experimental Capabilities

Catalysis

Our laboratories are equipped for catalyst preparation and characterization, as well as for catalysis control. We also have routine techniques for conducting analyses (GC-MS, chiral GC, chiral HPLC, etc.).

Organometallics

The laboratory has state-of-the-art equipment for the synthesis of transition metal chemistry including Schlenk vacuum lines for handling extremely air-sensitive compounds, dry-box and Solvent Purification System.

Photophysics

We are equipped to carry out in-depth photophysical studies with the aid of commercial and custom quartzware, a turbomolecular pump, and all the instruments in the Optical Characterization platform of the IPCMS.
