Missions

As a part of the ANR COORDinSCFs 2023-27 program, the researcher's mission (for 12 months, renewable twice for 12 months) will be to study new methods for the synthesis and post-synthetic treatments of coordination polymers using supercritical fluids such as CO2 and NH3. The unexplored frontier between coordination chemistry and supercritical fluids offers unprecedented opportunities for easily and efficiently synthesising new intercalated and exfoliated materials with optimised properties.

Activities

- molecular chemistry synthesis (organic and coordination chemistry) - intercalation and exfoliation chemistry
- synthesis in supercritical media
- structural and spectroscopic characterisation
- magnetic and thermodynamic studies and interpretations
- drafting of associated scientific articles

Skills

- have a PhD in chemical sciences
- excellent expertise in chemistry
- master chemical techniques in a controlled atmosphere
- master the usual characterisations of materials (X-ray diffraction, spectroscopies) - have knowledge of magnetism
- fluency in English (oral and written comprehension and expression)

Work Context

Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, Molecular Materials & Magnetism Team (M3)
Composed of 4 CNRS researchers (1 DR1, 1 DR2, 2 CRCN), 2 teacher-researchers (1 MdC, 1 Prof), 2 post-doctoral researchers, 5 PhD students, 1 Assistant Engineer, 1 Engineer. The M3 team provides a highly stimulating international research environment. The team has state-of-the-art scientific equipment, from synthesis to characterisation of molecular materials.

The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
