Metal-Free Active Template Recognition: A Straightforward Route to Molecular Shuttle [2]Rotaxanes Containing Two Conjugated Molecular Stations within an Aminopyridinium Motif Active template recognition is a strategy that enables the synthesis of rotaxanes devoid of formal recognition sites. Stabilization of the transition state by the macrocycle accelerates the formation of the molecular axle within the macrocyclic cavity, at […]

Carrying out chemical reactions without solvents and with reduced waste is the promise of mechanochemistry. The Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies team at the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron proposes using artificial intelligence–driven optimization methods to accelerate the development and implementation of these reactions activated by mechanical energy. This work was partly carried out in […]

Frédéric Lamaty from the Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies Team will discuss the topic of mechanochemistry with journalist Natacha Triou on the radio program LA SCIENCE CQFD on France Culture. The live broadcast will air on March 5, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The episode will then be available as a podcast on […]

A research engineer and head of the Synbio3 platform, Pascal Verdié is in the spotlight in a new episode of Rouages, the video series produced by the University of Montpellier. A chemical librarian at IBMM, responsible for the valorization of more than 4,000 compounds synthesized and characterized over thirty years of research, Pascal Verdié supports […]

SPIMA Therapeutics, a biotech start-up born from a collaboration between the Max Mousseron Institute of Biomolecules (IBMM, CNRS/University of Montpellier/ENSCM), the Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapy (IRMB, Inserm/University of Montpellier), Landmark BioVentures AG, and Dr Mohamed Haitham Ayad, has just reached a major milestone by winning the prestigious national i-Lab 2025 competition, supported by […]
