研究领域

Our group is recognized at an international level in the field of molecular electrochemistry and electron transfer reactivity. Our research aim at the general understanding of all aspects of electron transfer chemistry coupled to molecular changes such as proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) or bond cleavage or bond formation. The selected strategy takes advantage of the synergistic use of experimental electrochemical studies, photochemical studies, and of theoretical descriptions of the mechanistic models. Recently, we have made important contributions to proton-coupled electron transfers (PCET) reactions, that are the object of current active theoretical and experimental attention in view of their implication in a huge number of natural and synthetic processes. Concerning the later, we are investigating the electrochemical activation by metal complexes of small molecules such as H2, O2, H2O, CO2 in an effort to address contemporary energy challenges (storing energy into chemical bonds). For all of these reactions, the coupling of electron and proton transfers is likely to play a crucial role, both in terms of mechanism, efficiency, and products distribution.
