EMMD - Electrochemistry, Molecular Materials and Devices

EMMD (Electrochemistry, Molecular Materials and Devices) research activities are devoted to molecular materials, from molecules to materials and from materials to devices. Electrochemical techniques are used to synthesize, to immobilize and to detect chemical or biological species. The synthetic aspect relates to the synthesis and functionalization of macrocycles (porphyrins, phthalocyanines…) and polymers. The analytical aspect 1) exploits the redox properties of compounds or sensitive layers (biomaterials, conducting polymers, charge-transfer complexes, …) for the characterization and the detection of biomolecules or chemical pollutants in sensor devices; 2) to apprehend reaction mechanism of molecular processes. Our projects are focused on applications in the fields of environment, health and food industry.

Laurent Plasseraud is CNRS researcher as Chargé de Recherche at the University of Burgundy (DijonFrance).
His main research results concern original structures of transition metal and main group metal complexes with relevance to sustainability, homogenous catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, and molecular materials fields.
Since he joined the CNRS (2001-present), he devoted his research activities on sustainable chemistry projects using CO2 as a C1 synthon, and more recently he focuses on the transformation of biobased molecules into chemicals and materials with higher added values.

Current topics of research :

  • Carbon dioxide, a renewable source of carbon: Application for the green synthesis of dialkyl carbonates,
  • Chemical transformation of biomass-derived molecules, ▪ Insertion Mechanisms of carbon dioxide into the metal-alkoxide bonds,
  • Insertion Mechanisms of carbon dioxide into the metal-alkoxide bonds
  • Main group metal coordination chemistry,
  • Processes of carbonate biomineralization in metazoans (interdisciplinary collaboration with the Dr. Frédéric Marin, Biogéosciences laboratory, Dijon - UMR CNRS 6282).
