Research area
The research work developed by our team generally focuses on the study of radiation-matter interaction and the study of the relationship between the geometric structure of materials and their chemical characteristics. One of the interests is the study of processes induced by the absorption and emission of radiation such as photodissociation and luminescence and fluorescence phenomena. This involves theoretically studying spectroscopy and analyzing the photochemistry and photophysics of organometallic compounds “in excited states” with applications with a high environmental impact such as LED devices and photovoltaic systems. The second axis of research will be devoted to the theoretical study of the relationship between the geometric structure and the physicochemical properties of heterocyclic aromatic compounds, in particular ionic liquids having high ionic conductivity. The latter find applications in different fields such as energy storage (rechargeable batteries, electrolytes), catalysis, and as new efficient extractants of toxic waste. Another area of research will be devoted to the study of the stability of complexes used between Beta-Cyclodextrin and organic compounds used in the pharmaceutical field. Cyclodextrins are non-toxic molecules of interest in pharmacology and can accommodate a very large number of substrates to form complexes with poorly water-soluble molecules. Our research also focuses on the determination of the three-dimensional crystal structure of heterocyclic organic compounds belonging to the thiazole family and studied experimentally and theoretically the distribution of precise electron density in organic compounds with ONL properties and organic photovoltaic cells + D64.
