The Research
Group at CNRS - LCC, Toulouse (France)
The Toulouse team participating in the AQUACHEM project is constituted
by two independent components of the Laboratoire de Chimie de
Coordination (LCC), a Research Laboratory that belongs to the French
National Research Centre (CNRS). It is the flagship institution
in France for coordination chemistry. See http://www.lcc-toulouse.fr/ for
more details. The two components are constituted by the following
permanent members:
Team " Hétérochimie
moléculaire et supramoléculaire":
- Anne-Marie Caminade
(Directeur de Recherches)
- Alain Igau (Directeur de
Recherches)
- Régis Laurent
(Chargé de Recherches)
- Jean-Pierre Majoral (Directeur
de Recherches)
- Cyrille Rebout
(Technicien)
- Pierre Sutra
(Maître de Conférences)
- Cédric-Olivier Turrin
(Chargé de Recherches)
The group is completed by a number of non permanent members (ca. 10 at
the moment between post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students, and
short-term international visitors).
Besides the project which is financed by this MCRTN, the group is
involved in the following additional research areas, funded by several
public (regional, national and European) and industrial sources:
· Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of
dendrimers and hyperbranched derivatives
· Properties of dendrimers in materials
science (modification of surfaces of materials, creation of new
materials)
· Biological properties of dendrimers (gene
transfection, anti-prion agents, etc.)
· Nanosciences (DNA Chips)
· Phosphorus chemistry
· Organometallic and coordination chemistry
· Macrocycles
This group has established numerous international collaborations
(Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Russia, United Kingdom, and United
States). Financial support of these projects is provided by
Rhodia PPD, the European Commission (COST and INTAS), CNRS-DFG, and
CNRS-Polish Academy of Sciences. The co-direction of Ph.D. theses
has been established with Polish and German partners.
Team "Ligands Chiraux, Complexes et
Catalyse" (L3C):
- Jean-Jacques Brunet
(Directeur de Recherches)
- Jean-Claude Daran
(Directeur de Recherches)
- Ousmane Diallo
(Maître de Conférences)
- Maryse Gouygou
(Maître de Conférences)
- Agnès Labande
(Chargée de Recherches)
- Eric Manoury
(Chargé de Recherches)
- Rinaldo Poli (Directeur
de Recherches)
- Sandrine Vincendeau
(Technicienne)
The group is completed by a number of non permanent members (ca. 10 at

Besides the project which is financed by this MCRTN, the group is
involved in the following additional research areas, funded by several
public (regional, national and European) and industrial sources:
· Fundamental aspects of open-shell
organometallic compounds involved in spin crossover reactions;
· Paramagnetic transition metal hydrides;
· Chiral multifunctional ligands, their
coordination chemistry and applications in homogeneous catalysis;
· Intermolecular hydroamination catalysis;
· Atom transfer radical polymerization;
· Models for industrial Ziegler-Natta
bimetallic catalysts.
It enjoys numerous international collaborations (Israel, Italy, Mexico,
Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United
States). Financial support of these projects is provided by the
European Commission (COST and INTAS), NATO, MIUR and CNR.
The co-direction of a Ph.D. thesis has been established with a Russian
partner.
