Electrochimie Moléculaire et Photochimie Redox

Overview 

The EMPRe team conducts research in the field of molecular electrochemistry and redox photochemistry toward the understanding of bond activation trigerred by electron transfer. Within this framework, we are developing and analyzing electrochemical and photoinduced redox catalytic processes in homogeneous solution and on surfaces. Students in the EMPRe team are trained in synthesis of ligands, transition metal complexes or organic dyes. Then, they apply methods of molecular electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry, electrolysis), spectroelectrochemistrysurface modification (electropolymerization, electrodeposition) to study mechanisms of electro/photo-catalytic processes. In this context, we are investigating in particular small molecules activation (such as H2O, CO2, N2O) as well as proton-coupled electron transfer processes... To provide a rational approach to mechanistic study and an inteligent design of molecular catalysts, we are developing kinetic and theoretical models related to cyclic voltammetry and electro-photo-catalytic processes.
