We are interested in synthesizing orginal ligand incorporating different heteo-atoms, and in particular phosphorus. We study their coordination chemistry with the objective to develop catalysts. Lately, our attention was focused on mixed ligands incorporating an electron-rich iminosphophorane moiety. Especially we studied the phosphorous analogues of the salen that we termed phosphasalen. They were used to prepare efficient initiators for lactide ring opening polymerization. We studied also the electronic structure of oxidized Ni and Cu phosphasalen complexes and suggest the existence of multiconfigurational ground state due to the redox non-innocence of this ligand. Ongoing project concern the use of phosphasalen ligands in asymetric catalysis (collaboration with Dr. Bezzenine, ICMMO, Orsay), and the use of oxidized iron and manganese phosphasalen complexes for oxidation reaction (collaboration with Dr. Sénéchal-David, ICMMO, Orsay). We are also developing orginal cooperative ligands featuring a proton responsive moiety with the objective to deliver catalysts for original eco-compatible reactions.
Coordination are conducted with transition metals and focused these last year on inexpensive 1rst raw metals. The structure of the complexes are studied by NMR (when applicable) and UV spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry as well as X-ray diffraction.
