Synthesis and properties of nanostructured materials inspired by supramolecular arrays and bio-architectures
We develop new synthetic strategies to prepare highly functionalized metal nanoparticles (NPs, i.e. the use of Fischer carbenes), with interest in catalysis and nano-bio-sciences. The NPs react with multi-functional molecules that allow their post-derivatizations targeting highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts, enantiomeric recognition, or biomedical applications. In addition, we design and prepare reticular materials such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), to solve high impact challenges in fields like selective detection and capture of contaminants, toxin degradation, catalysis, etc.
