The young scientist Eva Bednářová, the first woman to receive a scholarship from the Experientia Foundation, will carry out a one-year postdoctoral training at Columbia University, New York in Prof. Tomislav Rovis’ laboratory. Eva is a doctor from Charles University in Prague and the University of Montpellier. At IBMM, she carried out her research work […]
Thomas-Xavier Métro is invited speaker at the 23rd Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference (GC&E) and 9th International Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry (GSC) that will be held in Reston (Virginia, USA) from 11th to 13th of June 2019. Since 1996, the GC&E has been hosted by the American Chemical Society’s Green Chemistry Institute […]
Access to organometallic compounds or coordination complexes may be essential during a multi-step synthesis (organomagnesium, lithium…), during the synthesis of a catalyst (palladium, ruthenium complexes…) or simply to obtain a complex with therapeutic properties (cisplatin…). The Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies team of the IBMM has published in the journal Chemical Reviews a review entitled […]
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has identified emerging technologies in Chemistry with potential to make our planet more sustainable. Among these are mechanochemistry, reactive extrusion and continuous flow chemistry. Forerunner particularly in the field of mechanochemistry, the Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies team at Institute of Biomolecules Max Mousseron has also […]
Collaborative work between the “Nucleosides and Phosphoryl Effectors” and “Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies” research groups from IBMM has shown the positive impact of mechanochemistry on dinucleotide synthesis. The ball milling technique not only limits the use of solvents and toxic reagents, but also reduces the amounts of by-products generated during the synthesis of dinucleosides […]
The IBMM Green Chemistry and Innovative Technologies team is dedicated to the development of sustainable chemistry by using, for example, solvent-free peptide synthesis approaches. Recently the use of an extruder, that can apply elevated mechanical forces to a reaction mixture, has enabled the researchers to produce small peptides without using any of the harmful solvents […]
The project entitled « CO2 valorization by mechanochemistry » proposed by Thomas-Xavier Métro (Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies team, IBMM) was selected by the CNRS Institute of Chemistry as part of the EMERGENCE@INC2018 call for proposals. This call for proposals aimed to support the emergence of tenured researchers recruited for 5-10 years, by providing them […]
Audrey Beillard (team Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies) received the special mention of the Prix Sabatier d’Espeyran on April 9th for her PhD work on the preparation of NHC-Metal complexes by mechanochemistry. This prize, awarded by the Academy of Sciences and Letters of Montpellier, is intended to distinguish a first work or a first remarkable […]
Marcin Drop, a student involved in a shared thesis program between the University of Montpellier and the Jagellonian University (Krakow, Poland), was awarded a 2nd Poster Prize (over 1912 contributions) in the engineering category during the Twitter conference organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry. This conference took place March 6-7, 2018 and consisted in […]
