LCMCE - IRAMIS

Laboratoire de Chimie Moléculaire et Catalyse pour l’Energie

The LCMCE group gathers a group of molecular chemists who are passionate about making and breaking bonds using organic and organometallic catalysts. These efforts are devoted to converting oxygenated molecules (C₁ molecules, waste plastics, biomass by-products, nitrogen oxides…) to useful chemicals, along with the development of renewable hydrides, aiming at closing the C and N cycles and fostering a circular economy. Following a knowledge-driven approach, we synthesize novel molecular catalysts (organic and organometallic) and investigate their modes of action through mechanistic studies. Our research interests focus on multidisciplinary approaches for energy and sustainability challenges.

Welcome to the LCMCE Research group
