During my Ph.D. thesis, I focused on the synthesis of new phospholides anions and their derivatives (phospholes, phospha- and diphosphaferrocenes). The coordination chemistry of these ligands has also been studied, as well as their use in homogeneous catalysis.
During my postdoctoral experience, I’ve been working on the elaboration of polydentates luminescent Lewis acids containing a boron center associated with various binding site (B, Hg, NCOR).
Since my arrival in Pr. Bertrand’s group, I’ve been interested in the synthesis of carbenes and bent-allenes and their use in coordination chemistry involving late transition metal and applications in stabilisation of low valent main group element.
