Chercheur post-doctoral en Chimie organique F/H

Postdoctoral Researcher In Organic Chemistry In the context of the CoCat-Light project, funded by the Agence Nationale de Recherche (ANR), we are recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Organic Chemistry F/H.This project focuses on the self-assembly of co-catalysts for photoredox/HAT catalytic processes. It aims to study and develop an innovative supramolecular photocatalytic methodology to generate, under mild conditions and with unprecedented efficiency, chlorine atoms by monoelectronic oxidation of chloride ions. You will be responsible for the methodological development of a photocatalytic process and the study of the reaction mechanism. Catalysis Photoredox You optimize catalytic conditions You study the extent of the reaction You perform reactions under pressure Mechanistic StudyYou conduct kinetic studies You determine association constants PhotoreactivityYou characterize the photoreactivity of complexes You conduct analyses by vibrational/electronic static and transient spectroscopiesYou perform DFT calculations Organic Synthesis You synthesize substrates Based on our preliminary results (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, e2024022964), the main objective of the project is the development of photocatalysts for the functionalization of alkanes You develop photocatalytic systems allowing the functionalization of alkanes under mild conditions and with high chemoselectivity You compare the activity of the developed systems with existing ones You contribute to the scientific dissemination of the results within the research group and through articles. Profile SoughtHolder of a Doctorate in Organic Chemistry, you have ideally already worked on photoredox catalysis for the functionalization of alkanes or in a related subject. You are rigorous and autonomous in your work You demonstrate good communication skills You are proficient in organic synthesis techniques, photoredox catalysis, and optical spectroscopiesYou are fluent in English (C1/B2 level) in a multicultural work environment Do you recognize yourself?
