Introduction

Two main themes are developed in the Supramolecules, Materials and Stereochemistry group. The first one is devoted to the chemistry of host-guest systems; the second theme is focused on the chemistry of chiral compounds including synthesis of compounds with large optical rotatory power for application in physics, as well as the more fundamental approach of the chiroptical properties of cryptophanes and the parity violation in chiral molecules.

Host-Guest systems, Bio-sensoring, Catalysis

The first topic developed in our group concerns the host-guest molecular recognition processes with a particular emphasis for (hemi)cryptophane and cavitand host molecules for the detection of cationic and neutral guests. Recent investigations in the functionalization of these molecular receptors opened the route to the preparation of new useful molecules, for example for the encapsulation of noble gas for bio-medical application in NMR imaging (MRI). Our group is deeply involved in a bio-sensing project for the recognition of biomedical targets by MRI supported by the ANR and the Rhone-Alpes Region

 Chirality and chiroptical properties.


This axis approaches several aspects of molecular chirality. For instance, the design of high rotatory power compounds is actively developed in close relation with applications in optical physics. Stereochemistry and more particularly chirality is present in every domains of our researches. It is thus one of our priorities to investigate fundamental aspects of molecular chirality, like parity violation in chiral molecules, and chiroptical properties of enantiopure molecular containers, which may exhibit chiral discrimination properties.
