Description of the research group
We are interested in the development of constrained ligands, with a particular emphasis upon the synthesis of cavity-shaped ligands, for organometallic catalysis and green chemistry catalysis.
Our team welcomes internship applications at the Master level, potential candidates interested in PhD studies as well as post-doctoral candidates.
